Javascript get characters in documents including css and javascript

Question

I am looking to get the length of the entire document (as in str.length) and any other files the document may use. This question (How to get the entire document HTML as a string?) was helpful, but it only gives the characters in the current document not taking into account any linked js or css files. Any suggestions?

This is entirely pseudocode, but it should help you. While it would be impossible to guarantee the accuracy of said length - due to the amount of variations in coding HTML, and how much depth there is with page-to-page linking.

This would also use Jquery.

var length = 0;

$(document).ready(function() {
   //do whatever you need to, to get the current document link (using link provided above)
   length = currentDocument.Length;

   //iterate through each LINK HREF
   //do the same for script and SRC
   $(document).find("link").each(function() {
        var attr = $(this).attr("href");

        //if this accesses a different server than your own, it prolly will fail

        if (attr != null)
        {
           $.ajax({
                url: attr,
                async: false,
                success: function (data){
                    length += data.length;
                }
            });
         }
   });
}
