This will get you all the HTML:
document.documentElement.outerHTML
Unfortunately it does not return the doctype. But you can use document.doctype
to get it and glue the two together.
document.doctype
. So I accepted your answer. Thanks to all!
You can do
new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(document);
for all browsers newer than IE 9
try this.
$("html").html()
document is a variable it dose not represent the html tag.
EDIT
To get the doctype one could use
document.doctype
This is a function which has support in IE6+, it does't use outerHTML
for even more support, it adds the doctype and uses a few tricks to get the html
tag and its attributes. In order to receive a string with the doctype, and doesn't use outerHTML
so it supports every browser. It uses a few tricks to get the html
tag. Add this code:
document.fullHTML = function () {
var r = document.documentElement.innerHTML, t = document.documentElement.attributes, i = 0, l = '',
d = '<!DOCTYPE ' + document.doctype.name + (document.doctype.publicId ? ' PUBLIC "' + document.doctype.publicId + '"' : '') + (!document.doctype.publicId && document.doctype.systemId ? ' SYSTEM' : '') + (document.doctype.systemId ? ' "' + document.doctype.systemId + '"' : '') + '>';
for (; i < t.length; i += 1) l += ' ' + t[i].name + '="' + t[i].value + '"';
return d+'\n<html' + l + '>' + r + '</html>';
}
Now, you can run this function:
console.log(document.fullHTML());
This will return the HTML and doctype.
I ran this on example.com, here are the results
document.documentElement.innerHTML
will return you all document markup as string
to get the whole doctype read this
I'm not sure about getting the complete doc.but what you can do is,you can get the content of html tag seprately and doctype seprately.
$('html').html() for content
and document.doctype for getting the doctype
I don't think there is a direct access to the whole document (including the doctype), but this works :
$.get(document.location, function(html) {
// use html (which is the complete source code, including the doctype)
});
document.doctype
is the nearest thing you have but not the exact one).

I have done it on browser's console
document.documentElement;
document.documentElement
returns a Object where document.documentElement.outerHTML
returns a String
