Question

I am trying to get all text on page. I have tried this without luck:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var Side = $(page).text();
    alert( Side );
});

Answer 1

Use 'body' instead of page. page is not a defined variable.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var Side = $('body').text();
    alert( Side );
});

Other options are document or html, but these would also include non-body text, such as the contents of the <title> tags.

If you want to strip out the JavaScript, you can use:

var Side = $('body').clone();
Side.find('script').remove(); // Remove <script> elements, etc.
Side = Side.text();

If you really want to strip all invisible items, use:

Side.find(':hidden').remove(); // instead of the second line
