Question

Is there a way in JS to get the entire HTML within the html tags, as a string?

document.documentElement.??

Answer 1

I just need doctype html and should work fine in IE11, Edge and Chrome. I used below code it works fine.

function downloadPage(element, event) {
    var isChrome = /Chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent) && /Google Inc/.test(navigator.vendor);

    if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) || (!!document.documentMode == true)) {
        document.execCommand('SaveAs', '1', 'page.html');
        event.preventDefault();
    } else {
        if(isChrome) {
            element.setAttribute('href','data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,'+encodeURIComponent('' + document.documentElement.outerHTML));
        }
        element.setAttribute('download', 'page.html');
    }
}

and in your anchor tag use like this.

Download entire page.

Example

    function downloadPage(element, event) {
    	var isChrome = /Chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent) && /Google Inc/.test(navigator.vendor);
    
    	if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) || (!!document.documentMode == true)) {
    		document.execCommand('SaveAs', '1', 'page.html');
    		event.preventDefault();
    	} else {
    		if(isChrome) {
                element.setAttribute('href','data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,'+encodeURIComponent('' + document.documentElement.outerHTML));
    		}
    		element.setAttribute('download', 'page.html');
    	}
    }
