I need to save content of div using pure javascript. I just edited one fiddle but I can\'t make it works :(
jsfiddle
In your jsfiddle Java Script is configured to onLoad, which is why download() is not being invoked. Change it to No-Wrap, then you will be able invoke download() on onClick of the button.
update download() as
function download(){
var a = document.body.appendChild(
document.createElement("a")
);
a.download = "export.html";
a.href = "data:text/html," + document.getElementById("content").innerHTML;
a.click();
}
I agree with RGraham. However, if you use jQuery
you can do it like this.
<div id="content">
<h1>Hello world</h1>
<i>Hi everybody</i>
</div>
<button class="download">Download</button>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
$('.download').on('click', function(){
$('<a />').attr({
download: 'export.html',
href: "data:text/html," + $('#content').html()
})[0].click()
});
</script>
Close, you need innerHTML & trigger the click too:
function download(){
var a = document.body.appendChild(
document.createElement("a")
);
a.download = "export.html";
a.href = "data:text/html," + document.getElementById("content").innerHTML; // Grab the HTML
a.click(); // Trigger a click on the element
}
Working Fiddle
In jsfiddle, you can't run a javascript function inside of html events (like onClick) unless the javascript is contained in tags. (nevermind this)
Try this:
HTML
<div id="content">
<h1>Hello world</h1>
<i>Hi everybody</i>
</div>
<button id="download">Download</button>
JS
var download_button = document.getElementById('download');
download_button.onclick = download;
function download(){
var content = document.getElementById('content')
console.log(content);
}
