Get the whole document's html with JavaScript/JQuery

I know it's already discussed here, but there were no solution to get the whole document (including doctype).

$(document).html(); returns null...

You can do

new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(document);

for all browsers newer than IE 9

This is a function which has support in IE6+, it does't use outerHTML for even more support, it adds the doctype and uses a few tricks to get the html tag and its attributes. In order to receive a string with the doctype, and doesn't use outerHTML so it supports every browser. It uses a few tricks to get the html tag. Add this code:

document.fullHTML = function () {
    var r = document.documentElement.innerHTML, t = document.documentElement.attributes, i = 0, l = '',
        d = '<!DOCTYPE ' + document.doctype.name + (document.doctype.publicId ? ' PUBLIC "' + document.doctype.publicId + '"' : '') + (!document.doctype.publicId && document.doctype.systemId ? ' SYSTEM' : '') + (document.doctype.systemId ? ' "' + document.doctype.systemId + '"' : '') + '>';
    for (; i < t.length; i += 1) l += ' ' + t[i].name + '="' + t[i].value + '"';
    return d+'\n<html' + l + '>' + r + '</html>';
}

Now, you can run this function:

console.log(document.fullHTML());

This will return the HTML and doctype.

I ran this on example.com, here are the results

I'm not sure about getting the complete doc.but what you can do is,you can get the content of html tag seprately and doctype seprately.

$('html').html() for content and document.doctype for getting the doctype

try this.

$("html").html()

document is a variable it dose not represent the html tag.

EDIT

To get the doctype one could use

document.doctype

I don't think there is a direct access to the whole document (including the doctype), but this works :

$.get(document.location, function(html) {
    // use html (which is the complete source code, including the doctype)
});

This will get you all the HTML:

document.documentElement.outerHTML

Unfortunately it does not return the doctype. But you can use document.doctype to get it and glue the two together.
