simple question: how to get full HTML of document?

[d4n0]

Hi,

Simple question (i hope ;-) )
How can I get the full HTML of a document(as a string)?
This would have to include the values of (editted) inputs.

Basically, I need to write a function for a button which saves a client completed html document to the server and so I'm trying to get everything as a string so I can write it to file.

Thanks a lot,

Dan.

if you want to do this client-side, it could be done in two steps:

1. get the html of the document:
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].outerHTML);

2. read through all form elements and save their values...you're in for a real treat, since you'll have to determine the form element's type, then determine the best way to extract its value...e.g., for a SELECT, you'll have to iterate through all its options and see which ones are selected
