Question

I want to modify through the dom various element properties and then save that page as an html file. View source doesn’t always reflect dom adjustments. Is there a way to write the whole page to a file or otherwise get the updated source page into a file?

Answer 1

I’m thinking this should do the trick for ya.

$('html').html();

JavaScript can’t write files when being ran from a browser (security). But you can send this to a PHP script and write it to a file from there. For example:

$.post('write.php', { dom : $('html').html() });

write.php

file_put_contents('new.html', urldecode($_POST['dom']));
