How to get the contents of a script tag in Selenium

Question

I'm using Selenium with C#. I have code which returns me a script tag as an IWebElement. How do I get the content from it?

Did you try using the `.getAttribute("script")` on your `element`? — Mark Rowlands, Dec 10 '13 at 15:04

The best you can do is use GetAttribute and access it's innerHTML.

element.GetAttribute("innerHTML");

Regardless of your age (and if you're not who I think you are, you're probably quite confused), this is absolutely spot on. Thanks. – David Dec 10 '13 at 15:23
@David, some say it's impossible to find someone who's younger than me ;) Glad it helped. – Arran Dec 10 '13 at 15:42

You can try this:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.tagName("script"));
String htmlCode = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].innerHTML;", element);

P.S. is in Java but you can do same in C# with some small edit.
