How to get the HTML Source code from the active browser ?

Hi All,
I need to get the HTML Source code from the active browser (IE). I tried with the below code, but I am not able to get the Source code all the time, with respect to the different applications (http or https) and the user authentication has to be changes in few applications (_I dont know or not able to given that in the below code_). More over there is also a dependence of the URL to get the HTML Source code.
Therefore what I feel is getting the HTML Source code from the given or active browser will be consistent than the URL. Since the Source code is available in the browser (IE) . Please help me with a sample code to achieve this . . . !
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument) kit.createDefaultDocument();
doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", Boolean.TRUE);
URL url = new URL(strURL);
Reader HTMLReader = new InputStreamReader(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
kit.read(HTMLReader, doc, 0);Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jothi Venkatachalam

The simple answer is: you don't.
Not only is it simply not possible, but the entire concept of "the active browser" doesn't exist.
You were on the right track with your code to retrieve the page directly from the server, but as you noticed that code will only work for regular http connections.
For https and other protocols you will need to use appropriate libraries for each protocol. Something like Apache Commons can help you with that. There are networking libraries in there for a lot of commonly used protocols.

  • View the html source code of an apex page

    Hi everyone,
    I search to how I can view the html source code of an apex page and to be able to modify it. That's why viewing the html source code from the browser when the application is running doesn't arrange me.
    Has anyone an idea how it can this be possible?
    Best regards,

    Do you want to be able to pull up the HTML source generated by Apex, modify that copy, and then feed it back into Apex with the chagnes you made? If so you can't. Apex generates the HTML through its tools and you have to modify the generation routines to get different HTML.
    Do you merely want to look at the generated HTML? In Internet Explorer all you have to do is right click on the page and choose View Source to open a window with the HTML source in an editor. I sometimes find it useful to save a page and manually edit the copy to immediately see the effects of certain changes to the underlying HTML and/or Javascript without permanantly making the change in Apex.

    I don't know if this is a good idea, but it works.
    1) Use a URL to obtain the document's location
    2) Use a URLConnection to open a connection between your computer and the
    document server
    3) Connect to the server
    4) Get the InputStream of said connection
    5) Associate the Input Stream with a Buffered Input Stream
    At this point you can use a loop to read lines from the BufferedInput Stream and append them to a TextArea or other suitable text component.

  • How to edit the html source code for my site

    I have just started a blog, and am VERY new to it. I am trying to edit the html source code on my site (ie, to insert google adsense search bars). I go to my blog site, get to page source and see the html but I am not able to edit it. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

    You can use any editor you want mine is set up for notepad.exe
    :see http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#notepad
    :to invoke use "Ctrl+U" or View > Page Source
    :this is for sites that you maintain on your local drives or servers, and copy over to a website.

  • How do I delete the html source code

    I found the html source code, selected it but am not able to delete it so I can put in my own code. I am using firefox

    Could you describe in more detail what file it is. Is this a page on a website that you are editing, or a page on your computer you use as your home page, or some other page?

  • Are we allowed to use the Web developer function in Firefox version 5.0 to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox home page?

    Locking at request of OP - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844506
    Are we allowed to use the Web developer function, under the "Firefox" tab in Firefox version 5.0, to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox version 5.0 home page ( so that we can personalize the home page )? Is this legal?
    Sincerely in Christ,
    Russell E. Willis

    Solution: (Free Download Manager)
    Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
    Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
    I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
    And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

  • I broke my iPhone 5 now using a 4 but don't know if or how to get my photos ect..from the 5 to the 4.can I do this and how plse help

    I broke my iPhone 5 now using a 4 but don't know if or how to get my photos ect..from the 5 to the 4.can I do this and how plse help

    Restore the backup of your iPhone 5 to your iPhone 4.  It will contain your camera roll photos. 
    To do this, first make sure the iPhone 4 is running the same or higher version of iOS as your iPhone 5 was.  If it isn't, you'll need to update it first.  Then, to restore the iCloud backup, you'll have to begin by erasing the iPhone 4.  If you have any newer data on the iPhone 4 that is not contained in the iPhone 5 backup, you'll need to save that first.  When you're ready, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the set screens on the iPhone 4 and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompt, choosing the backup of your iPhone 5 to restore to.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.

  • Get Error/Resp​onse Codes from the device

    Is there a way to get the error/response codes from the device without using a try-catch and getting the ErrroeCode hidden in the exception?  I am using the C# API version 4.1

    Probably not.
    All the error/response codes or exceptions are handled under the namespave of NationalInstruments.FieldBus.ExceptionHandler.FBEx​ception which includes a lot of children for different exceptions.
    Please refer to the namespace of NationalInstruments.FieldBus.ExceptionHandler.

  • How can I download the full source code for the Java 3D package

    how can I download the full source code for javax.media.j3d
    especially I need the Transform3D.java class.
    thanks a lot
    Meir

    thank you guys I'll try to do so, I suggest you to
    join me.From the one of the (ex-!)Java3D team:
    "I'm glad to see that Sun has decided to officially support an
    open source Java/OpenGL binding, JOGL. Perhaps they will
    eventually decide to make Java 3D open source. However, be
    careful what you wish for. The Java 3D source is huge and
    complex. There are native sections for Solaris, Windows/OpenGL,
    and Windows/Direct3D, plus common code. I don't know how you'd
    open source a build process that requires different pieces of
    the code be built on different machines running different
    operating systems."
    Sounds scary - I hope we're ready for it :)

  • How to get server data without reading from the socket stream?

    My socket client checks for server messages through
                while (isRunning) { //listen for server events
                    try {
                            Object o = readObject(socket); //wait for server message
                                tellListeners(socket, o);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        System.err.println("ERROR SocketClient: "+e);
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    try { sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException ie) { /* ignore */ }
                }//next client connectionwith readObject() being
        public Object readObject(Socket socket) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException {
            Object result = null;
    System.out.println("readObject("+socket+") ...");
            if (socket != null && socket.isConnected()) {
    //            ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
                ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream()));
                try {
                    result = ois.readObject();
                } finally {
    //                socket.shutdownInput(); //closing of ois also closes socket!
        //            try { ois.close(); } catch (IOException ioe) { /* ignore */ }
            return result;
        }//readObject()Why does ois.readObject() block? I get problems with this as the main while loop (above) calls readObject() as it's the only way to get server messages. But if i want to implement a synchronous call in adition to this asynchronous architecture (call listeners), the readObject() call of the synchronous method comes to late as readObject() call of the main loop got called before and therefore also gets the result of the (later) synchronous call.
    I tried fideling around with some state variables, but that's ugly and probably not thread safe. I'm looking for another solution to check messages from the server without reading data from the stream. is this possible?

    A quick fix:
    - Add a response code at the beginning of each message returned from the server indicating if the message is a synchronous response or a callback (asynch);
    - Read all messages returned from the server in one thread and copy callback messages in a calback message queue and the synch responses in an synch responses queue;
    - Modify your synchronous invocation to retrieve the response from the responses queue instead from the socket. Read the callback messages from the corresponding queue instead from the socket.
    Also take a look at my website. I'm implementing an upgraded version of this idea.

    There's no need to create a new Apple ID just because the hard drive was replaced.
    Apps can only be re downloaded using the same Apple ID they were purchased with originally.
    You will have to re purchase the app using the new Apple ID.
