Getting the content of the Browser [message #463152]

Hi all,
sorry I write again in few days for similar questions.

I was wondering how do I get the content of what is displayed by the
Browser component. It seems to me APIs are missing and that I should do
some sort of tricky hack via javascript, by means of
browser.execute(" window.status=window_document_content_as_string_in_some_way( ) ").

Thanks in advance,
Alessio Pace.

Sorry if I misunderstood.
As for HTML, see Bug #107142
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=107142)
As for Text, see Bug #75815
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75815)

- IE only -
Try browser.execute("alert(document.body.innerHTML)");
and browser.execute("window.status=document.body.innerHTML");
Changing status wont work, maybe.
Another one,
browser.execute("clipboardData.setData('Text',
document.body.innerHTML)");
This will work.

Those alternatives work, but I fear that innerHTML is not w3c standard
but just something introduced into browsers for convenience.

I read the getText() proposal: I can't understand if it will be the text
of the rendered page or of the source page? For instance, if I open an
HTML document with 2 frames, will I get the string representation of
what I actually "see" rendered inside the browser component or the
string representation of the source document?
