rendered HTML

I'm sure there must be better ways to do this, but in
Firefox you can
select the portion of the page, or Ctrl + A for the complete
page, then in
the context menu click on 'View Selection Source...'

Another alternative could be Nikhil Kothari's Web
Development Helper [1]. If
you select the DOM Inspector, followed by the Markup tab, it
will show you
the current content of the page, both as a treeview and
HTML.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply, but actually that doesn't do what I
was talking about.

All this does is get the contents of the from the webserver.
However, what I
want is the rendered contents (which may or may not live on
a webserver). It
could just be a string of HTML stored in a database.

For example, if there was some javascript interspersed in
some HTML in there
that was:

Hello <script>document.write( getName()
);</script>,<BR>
<script>
var line = 'this is a line of text';
document.write( '<b>' + line + '</b>');
</script>


What I want to actually get is:
Hello jdoe,<BR>
"<b>this is a line of text</b>"

Hence my question about getting the *rendered* html.

Cheers!
Dave

Here's a little function that I've used for a while that
does just that.

public static string GetHtmlPage(string location)
{
 string retVal;
 WebResponse objResponse;
 WebRequest objRequest =
System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(location);
 objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
 using (StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
 {
        retVal = sr.ReadToEnd();
 }
 return retVal;
}

Good Luck
MK

Hi All,
Since many web pages contain javascript to layout the page,
does anyone
know
how to get at the rendered HTML of a webpage filled with
javascript?
I'm
guessing you would some how need to create an instance of IE
or Firefox,
and
tap into something (I just don't know what that 'something'
is). I know
there used to be an IE tool (back in the v4.x days) where
you could
right-click in the browser window and select "view
rendered html".  I
was
wondering if there was someway to do this in .NET.

Thanks,
Dave
