in thread get html via WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

Not knowing how to do it is what kept me.

If I have this array returned from $mech->selector("html") - how do I filter out the iframes?

Many thanks!

Maybe now is a good time to learn about the "`view-source`" protocol (hotkey `ctrl+u`), which makes almost all browsers show you the HTML source of the current page. Also consider the Chrome Developer Tools which can be reached using `ctrl+shift+i` in Google Chrome. What is wrong with using `->content`? If you have a bunch of `html` elements, maybe you can check `->get_attribute('ownerDocument')`, but that's just a wild guess on my part.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I can't try at the moment, but while you're here I may just as well ask you... My understanding was (and that may very well be wrong) that ->content would give you the html-source as it is sent by the server. But what I am interested in is the html that results once some js-scripts have modified the dom. I thought that I would be able to retrieve that via innerHTML. I will try later, but maybe you could enlighten me if my whole understanding is way off...	[reply]
