Get HTML Content Upon Submit - html

Question

In Jsp while i press submit button instead of passing values to action.
I want the HTML content of that form with all values it is possible??
If possible give an example. Let me know if any clarification is needed.

Answer 1

It isnt clear where do you need this html content?
If on browser, use an alert in an onSubmit event -
alert(document.myForm.innerHTML);
To get this on to server side, you will need to pass this content as part of form submission, maybe in a hidden field.
in onSubmit() event:
myForm.myHiddenHtmlContent = myForm.innerHTML;
For InnerHTML with current form values:
Its not plain easy, check out the following link -
innerHTML with current form values
This uses jquery, but you can also write your own without it as well.
Including an example -
Ok, it looks like it works in IE but not in FireFox. Basically you need to setAttribute('value') for each form element to make it work.
Use following -
var formElements = document.getElementById("myFormId").elements;
for (var x = 0; x <= formElements.length - 1; x++)
{
if (formElements[x].value) {
formElements[x].setAttribute("value", formElements[x].value);
}
}
//Now you are ready to call innerHTML
myForm.myHiddenHtmlContent = myForm.innerHTML;
Hope this helps.
