Hello,

I need to save webpage source to another .html file. Yes it is same as, print out current document. I am able to retrieve the source using document.childNodes[i].outerHTML;. But The outerHTML is not part of standard DOM interface and the entities are not displayed properly. So I need a better approach to get the content of html file where entities like &nbsp and & are skipped and current state of document is maintained.

Even the document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML; does not work.

Thanks
