highlight and copy The entire text of iframe in html - html

How can we highlight and copy the entire text of iframe in html

I don't see a reason why you can't do it.
Simply, use browsers like Chrome or Firefox, right click on the part you want to copy in the iframe, and choose View Frame Source. You should be getting the code inside the iframe.

URL shown in browser while editing page source in HTML

I'm making a tutorial which involves recording my computer screen. I need to click a link that normally directs me to, say https://website.com/page. I want it to redirect me to https://website.com/another_page, which can be easily edited using Inspect Element.
However, when I click the link showing now another_page, I want the URL in browser (Firefox, Chrome) to still be https://website.com/page. Is that possible?
You could do fullscreen in which case the url wouldn't even show. I don't know if that would work with your screen recorder, but it's worth a try. You could also the edit the url directly at the top of your screen so that it shows https://website.com/page and move your keyboard focus away from it so that it appears that the url is https://website.com/page.

How to always display an HTML file and embed new pages inside of it?

So I created an HTML GUI for a touchscreen monitor. The browser is supposed to always stay in fullscreen. Now I want to embed another website inside my HTML, which works pretty well.
My only problem now is, that when I click through the embedded webpage, new pages open without my GUI. This is a problem because I added navigation functionality to the GUI and since it always runs in fullscreen I can't use the back and forward buttons either.
So is there a way to make Firefox always open my HTML GUI, when it opens a new page and open the requested page as embedded in my GUI?
You should provide more information about how did you embed other site in your html gui.
The solution is to use <iframe> element, then all the links inside the iframe should be open in that iframe. And if you want any other link from your GUI to be open in that iframe, just add target="name_of_the_iframe" to that element, and a attribute name="name_of_the_iframe" to the iframe (ofcourse "name_of_the_iframe" is an example).
You can try using an iframe
From w3schools: "An iframe is used to display a web page within a web page."

Can you save an edited HTML in the inspect element, to the browser?

Can you save an edited HTML in the inspect element, to the browser? After I hit refresh, the web page goes looking back to normal and I want to keep it edited on my browser only for life.
You could press CTRL+S to save the page itself. But I suppose that is not what you want?
If it's a html from a page on the web you cannot. The only other solution (and I use it sometimes) is to create a local Chrome / Firefox extension that alters the DOM via Javascript.
If it's a html present on your disk you can do it with DevTools on Chrome.
you can do something like save un html code on notepad and save it as html or edit html code from inspect but those solutions will make static web page and there is no way to make it dynamic only if you change the source code of web page

Why can't I view --> page-source of an iframe? How can I make iframe contents viewable?

When I load a page that has an iframe, often (perhaps always) I can't see the content of that iframe using the browser's View --> PageSource menu choice. Two questions:
Why should the iframe's content be unviewable?
How can I change my html or css so that it is viewable?
EDIT: #diEcho and #JohnP answered the second question (thanks, guys!) but the first question remains:
How come the iframe's content is unviewable in the first place?
Thanks!
In Firefox, you can right click inside the iframe and select This Frame -> View Source and you can view the source of the iframe.
And in Chrome, it's View Frame Source
if using firefox then install Web developer addon ..there is option to see page source of specific iframe...

Go to iframe when src changes

I am working on a new home for my browser.
When the src changes of the iframe (click search or something) I want to leave my site and go to where the iframe is going. How do I do this?
edit:// example: http://imgur.com/OvnCz.jpg
Just put a target attribute on the link with a value of _top, like this:
Google
That tells the browser to open the link in the top-most frame, that is the whole browser window. More information can be found here
