Send html snapshot to server using client side javascript

Question

Is there a way to send the fully generated html code of its own web page using javascript. For example, at a button click event, the current html code of the page is sent back to the server. How to do this?

Using jQuery, this should do that for you:

$("html").html()

And if you really need the HTML tags:

function getPageHTML() {
  return "<html>" + $("html").html() + "</html>";
}

Even:

$('html')[0].outerHTML

Author was asking the functionality in raw javascript. – dreamweiver Jul 15 '13 at 11:01
And I supplied an alternative, though your answer is probably more fitting. Either way, it still might help him. – André Snede Jul 15 '13 at 11:02
:) actually speaking the jQuery approach is what i feel the best, anyway you cant use jQuery lib if its of no use. – dreamweiver Jul 15 '13 at 11:14
