It depends on how the content is loaded. If its just invisible, you can get it this way. But in most cases the content is loaded dynamically, means if the user scrolls to some point, the page sends an ajax request for more content to the server. When the server sends back the data, javascript updates the page. In this case you can't do anything, because it's not possible to send cross-domain ajax-requests.

Use innerHtml:

contents = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
console.log(contents[0].innerHTML);

Or if you are using jQuery, add some ID to that div, that you want it's content:

<div id='divId'>Hello <span>World</span></div>

$('#divId').text(); // Will return "Hello World"
$('#divId').html(); // Will return "Hello <span>World</span>"
