Select and copy/past the source code

by **shuu** on Fri Jan 04, 2008 11:10 am

Hi,

I would like to select all the source code of a occur page thanks to select_and_copy.js JavaScript and copy/past it into the <textarea> of the same page.
Example of page:

Code: Select all: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="select_and_copy.js"></script> </head> <body> <h1>Ma page</h1> <p><textarea name="message" rows="30" cols="80"></textarea></p> </body> </html>

I precise I don't want to do that by downloading again the source code. I would like to copy/past the current source code of a loaded page, not download the same page again.

Thanks for help and happy new year

try this:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function pasteCode() { var pageContent = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML; document.getElementById('pageConentID').innerHTML = pageContent; } </script> </head> <body onload="pasteCode()"> <h1>Ma page</h1> <p><textarea id="pageConentID" rows="30" cols="80"></textarea></p> </body> </html>

You may view the page here:

Thanks you, leonard

I have trying it on Safari but it's work better on Firefox. It's very useful, but I would like to get all the source page... I don't know if it's possible.

OK, the magic word is, once again: AJAX.

Here is the example:

A small addition:
IE works with innerText, but FireFox needs innerHTML, which interpretes the code.
So for firefox I needed to 'escape' the special characters:

Code: Select all: myDOMText = myDOMText.replace(/&/g,'&'); myDOMText = myDOMText.replace(/</g,'<'); myDOMText = myDOMText.replace(/>/g,'>');

I didn't test the code on other browsers. Hope it works.

cheers!
