Howto get source code of displayed IE-pages?

Hi!
Is there any API to get the source code (i.e. the html)
of the page currently shown inside an Internet Explorer
window?

I want to do a kind of logging of all displayed pages.
If such an API existed, i could poll and save the changes
to disk. I want to do this with win32ole if possible.

Thanks for any help ion advance!
Martin.

AFAIK, the API is the COM interface, which requires win32ole, of course.

Pretty much any element in the DOM have an outerHTML and innerHTML
property - if you get at the top of the DOM, you should get the html for the
whole page.

rnetexplorer.asp

nt.asp

Perhaps (untested) ie.document.rootElement.outerHTML (I think that’s the
right DOM syntax)
