I want to get inspect element of the page web . I've tried Jsoup to get html but it only returns the source code. So is there a way to get the code fully like the one in the Inspect elements? or is there a way to get code from Inspect Elements? Thanks !
First of all I recommend using Chrome. Then use Inspect Element to get the code. If you want to actually download all of the source code, you should just go to File -> Save Page As... to get all the code.
Save the code to your desktop and you'll have everything you need to open the site locally in your browser.

I am trying to scrap some website using nodejs and puppeteer. Some element in the website is a bootstrap dropdown. And, I cannot get the content of my dropdown.
When I click view source code, the code displayed is not the same as when I inspect the page in the browser.
I understood that view source code load the code as it is rendered by the server, and inspect is showing source code after executing scripts.
Using puppeteer, the page is not loaded just like view source code.
So, what can I do to get the same source code as inspect ? Any help please ?
In the image below is the code when I do inspect:
With puppeteer or I click view source code, I don't get the li elements, just the ul element empty.
I'm trying to take the full html source of the tab in
this page
I want to take the source of
this tab
But unfortunately, the html I'm getting is not completed.
I registered a gif to explain it better
That select list is showing just when I inspect the element, while If I just insect the element with the list closed, it doesn't return any list html.. is it created dinamically when the user click on it?
I've tried to expand all the codes, but unfortunately it seems the html of every list is not appearing.. It might be created just when I open the list?
Is there a way to get the lists html?
Hope I've been clear.
Not sure what you want to save, but by inspecting it sources, it seems that the website use the way of removing and appending the html source which means only you pressed the expanded button, Javascript will append it (different options) to the body, otherwise it will not shown in the element tab.
I don't think you could get all html tags in just 1 try because the website use Javascript to append the html and you can't see it in the element section in console when the element is being removed.
Example:
You can save the page if you want. Just save it with Ctrl+S and you will find the basic source in there along with the stylesheet and other scripts.
I've got a simple MVC web page that pops up a dialogue box with a list of hyperlinks to files. They're properly prefixed with "file://" and the links work properly if copied to the clipboard and pasted into a browser window. However, from within the dialogue, clicking on the linked files returns... nothing.
Nothing at all happens. The behavior is identical in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. No warnings, errors, etc.
Visually my dialogue looks like this:
If I "inspect element" on one of the links, for example, the top one for "javascript notes.txt", it looks like this:
This IS a valid hyperlink. As mentioned above, I can copy the link into the address bar of a browser and the linked file opens fine. I can also copy the full HTML of the element into notepad, wrapped in tags and save as an .html file, and the link works just fine from there. The links just don't work in the dialogue--from any browser.
I'm displaying the links in a Kendo grid currently. Thinking that might be a problem, I got rid of the grid temporarily and tried displaying them in a plain HTML . Same problem--clicking on the links produces no result at all.
Am I fighting something deeper here? Like, I'm using a jquery dialogue to show the list. do jquery dialogues do something to block hyperlinks from working?
TIA for any help.
As per Amy's comment on the original question, browsers seem to block the file:// links when opening from a page retrieved via http. The workaround I implemented came from the excellent article linked below: I coded a simple action method in a controller that returns not a view but a File, and changed the hyperlinks to invoke that controller method via http. Works like a charm.

What would cause an HTML table and form (viewable in view:source) not to render or appear on the page?
It also does not appear in Chrome's Developer Tools console or Firebug console.
I have been trying to figure this out all day and searching is not helping.
Any changes from the raw html you see in view source to the rendered DOM in the browser is caused by JavaScript.
There must be some code on that page that is removing your table.
Can you please provide some code examples of scripts that are on the page and that you are including?
Hi im demonstrating the html tags that are new in CSS3 and I'm making a documentation for the easy viewing and interpretation on comparing both the source code and the output.And its its really hard for me going to the source code and then selecting the file and browsing it on the browser
It would be great if I could view both the source code and the output
on the same html page.
For example(I m talking from the page I ve attached below) if I select Source code the source code must be displayed on the screen or from any of the text editors.
I don't know whether it is possible to do so,If possible it would be great
if anyone of you could guide me.
To get the source of just one element, do this:
HTML: <div id="one"><span id="two"></span></div>
JS:
document.getElementById('one').innerHTML // returns <span id="two"></span>
document.getElementById('one').outerHTML // returns <div id="one"><span id="two"></span></div>
To get the source of the entire page, do this:
document.doctype + document.documentElement.outerHTML
document.doctype returns the doctype, and document.documentElement.outerHTML returns the code for the <html> tag and everything inside it.
Use the developer tools you have in all modern browsers (the most advanced ones being Chrome and Firefox).
You typically open such a toolset using the Ctrl-Uppercase-i shortcut.
Then you have a lot of useful tools, as described here for Chrome or here for Firefox.
One of them seems to be exactly what you need. For example in Chrome, the first tab, called "Elements", shows you the source code with a lot of goodies (interpreted css with reasons, element displayed when you hover the mouse, search, etc.).
I'd suggest you take the time to read the linked documentation, as this is an essential tool of any web developer. And you won't be able to stop using those tools as soon as you go deeper in javascript or css.
