The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

MS added the outerHTML and innerHTML some time ago but they aren't universally supported. See quirksmode for browser compatibility for what will work for you. All support innerHTML however (except Konqueror).
ReplyDeletevar txt = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
alert(txt);
document.documentElement.innerHTML
ReplyDeleteYou can also do:
ReplyDeletedocument.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML
You will not get the Doctype or html tag, but everything else...
I believe document.outerHTML should return that for you.
ReplyDeleteEdit: As the MSDN page on the outerHTML property notes, there is no standard that supports this, although IE 6+ and more recently several other browsers now support it. Colin's answer links to the W3C quirksmode page, which offers a good comparison of cross-browser compatibility (for other DOM features too).
document.documentElement.outerHTML
ReplyDeleteThe correct way is actually:
ReplyDeletewebBrowser1.DocumentText
I always use
ReplyDeletedocument.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML
Probably not the right way but I can understand it when I see it.
