What I want:
- Writing a chrome extension
- Search a website for matches, preferably with regex
- Send result (or whole dom) to another application.
What I've done so far:
I've managed to get a chrome extenssion up and running. It uses a button to get startet and when that button is pressed it connects to a local websocket server. Therefor point 3 is done too. (Server is written i c#)
My problem is with point 2. I want to search or send a page whole DOM. But I'm having some problem here. I tried on a site which dynamically changes and I can't get all subnodes not matter how I've done it.
I have tried in javascript to: document.documentElement.OuterHTML there I get a result but it isn't the whole page. I've tried document.all[0].outerHTML document.getElementByID("*") No matter how I do it I don't get all of the text.
My goal is to get something similar to the google developer tools, elements inspection. There I can see it all. I want that with all subelements expanded and ether send that to my c# application and do my searching there or do the searching in javascript and only send the results.
I have tried doing it through the manifest making a content_script that adds a DOMSubtreeModified event listener. My guess is it's when I do my document.all[0].outerHTML the page haven't loaded yet, therefor I tried making a interval function that runs ever 10 secunds and gets the dom, both gives me the same result.
Anyone have any suggestion on how to get a result that is similar to the chrome developer tools with elements selected and all nodes fully expanded?
