Get selected element's outer HTML

Question

I\'m trying to get the HTML of a selected object with jQuery. I am aware of the .html() function; the issue is that I need the HTML including the selected obje

Answer 1

Short and sweet.

[].reduce($('.x'), function(i,v) {return i+v.outerHTML}, '')

or event more sweet with help of arrow functions

[].reduce.call($('.x'), (i,v) => i+v.outerHTML, '')

or without jQuery at all

[].reduce.call(document.querySelectorAll('.x'), (i,v) => i+v.outerHTML, '')

or if you don't like this approach, check that

$('.x').get().reduce((i,v) => i+v.outerHTML, '')
