Preserved Topic: document.clear() (Page 1 of 1)

hello,

what is the document.clear() supposed to do? isn't it supposed to clear all the document content?

btw, how can i get the whole HTML file content in a javascript string?
like: myvar = document.htmltext? or something?

-=l=-

well? hope someone can help me with this one.

*looks up document.clear...*

According to JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, "The clear() method of the Document object is deprecated and should not be used. To clear a document, you should simply open a new one with Document.open()."

So, yeah, do that. Then write the content with document.write(), and then close the document with document.close() and the new content will appear.

I'm afraid there is no real way to get the entire HTML page into one string. What exactly are you trying to do? Because there's probably a different way to do it, judging from the questions you're asking.

thanks slime!
