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).

  5. document.documentElement.outerHTML

  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.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
