Get HTML String for jQuery and/or DOM object

Question

I think I\'ve read through the complete jQuery API documentation and looked at jQuery objects and simple DOM elements in the debugger to check what methods they actually hav

Answer 1

try the dom property .outerHTML

Answer 2

This is possible by enclosing your desired object in another object, and the fetching the innerHTML. It is explained in much more detail here: How do you convert a jQuery object into a string?

Answer 3

You can use the '.outerHTML' property. This is how it would look using jquery: http://jsfiddle.net/MHvmm/

$('div')[0].outerHTML
