How to get the entire document HTML as a string?

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

document.documentElement.??
Solution

  • Get the root <html> element with document.documentElement then get its .innerHTML:

    const txt = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
alert(txt);

    or its .outerHTML to get the <html> tag as well

    const txt = document.documentElement.outerHTML;
alert(txt);
