    Hello guys,

    I can't find a way to get the document source with js.
    Using document.body.innerHTML , I only get html source from the body, but I need full html source of the page.

    Any idea?

    Thanks.

    Use XmlHttpRequest and request for the page, then getResponseText() to get the content.

    And if I couldn't request the page again, i.e. if I've posted data that changed the status of the database and re-posting would change it again? I'm using on error to send the error happened on the browser to the server log, but as the page is dynamically generated the line is not enought, because it doesn't match the php/jsp line.

    Many thanks, best regards
