Get entire document HTML as string



Is there a way in JS to get the entire HTML within the html tags, as a string?







document.documentElement.??

  1. 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).

    var txt = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
    alert(txt);

  2. document.documentElement.innerHTML

  3. You can also do:

    document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML


    You will not get the Doctype or html tag, but everything else...

  4. I believe document.outerHTML should return that for you.

    Edit: 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).

  6. The correct way is actually:

    webBrowser1.DocumentText

  7. I always use

    document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML


    Probably not the right way but I can understand it when I see it.

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
