[hamadahali 0]

Firefox, sourcehello guys, please i need to get a source of internet page from the firefox.
i tried the ff.au3
but it requires mozreper, which it does not support the latest firefox versions.
please is there any other way to do that?

Hi hamadahali,

there are several ways to do that.

• Did you try to search for a solution in the forum or on other sites like stackoverflow etc.?
• Please share your code how you tried to use ff.au3.
• Please give us more details of what you try to achieve
  • Do you want the whole source code or texts of specific elements of the page or something else?
  • Which page is it etc.?
  • Is there a page login needed?

Depending on your answers, you can use:

InetGet()
InetRead()

Or http requests with or without token or WebDriver automation etc.

Best regards
Sven

sendkeys / controlsettext /uia setvalue in the addressbar below piece of code and it will popup the innerhtml or any other information you can retrieve with javascript

javascript:alert(document.body.innerHTML)

hello again

i did that

it will open a firefox page and give the source

but what if i have a page opened before i run the example and i wanted to get it source can any one show us how that will be

#include "wd_helper.au3"
#include "wd_capabilities.au3"



    _WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace')
    _WD_Option('Port', 4444)

;~  Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'
    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'firefox')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('browserName', 'firefox')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('acceptInsecureCerts', True)
    _WD_CapabilitiesDump(@ScriptLineNumber) ; dump current Capabilities setting to console - only for testing in this demo
    Local $sDesiredCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()

    _WD_Startup()
_WD_ConsoleVisible(False)
    $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/207406-how-to-get-page-source-on-firefox-browser/")
_WD_LoadWait($sSession)
MSGBox(64, "source", _WD_GetSource($sSession))
