viewing document after modifying using DOM 1

[MontyBurns]

Hi,

If I use client side JS to modify my page, and I want to know what the source is (for debugging etc) at any one time, is there any way I can view this? View Source only returns the document as it was initially sent, as far as i'm aware.

Suppose I could write a script to display it, but i'm guessing there must be an easier way, such as a freeware app?

Thanks,
Burns

I have this same question, but no one posted an answer...

Does someone have an answer?

how are you modifying your page? If you re-write it through scripting, you have a new page visible through view source like any other page.

is that what you mean?

Yes, I'm using "document.write(...);" statements. However, these sections are executed conditionally, so (if they are writing the same text in two different places) I'm not sure (sometimes) exactly which statements were actually processed.

However, when I "view source", I still see all the "document.write(...)". What I'd like to see is the actual HTML that is rendered (i.e., the contents of my "

document.write

".

When you do view source or even save the web page, I belive it will only show the data passed to the client, not any changes to the page done at the client end. I have the same problem with appending cloned nodes to a table.

type this into the address bar:

javascript:d=window.open();d.document.open('text/plain').write(document.body.outerHTML);

Thanks a million! That's what I was looking for.
