    How to save/view JS's output?

    I have a script, its outputs are in HTML. It displays perferctly in a
    browser, however when I view source, it gives me the JS scripts, but I want
    to view the HTML output. Is there a way I can view or save output?

      It depends on the browser, if it is IE then you could try with the
      following bookmarklet:
      javascript: var source = ''; if (document.docum entElement && (source =
      document.docume ntElement.outer HTML)) { var sourceWin = window.open('',
      'sourceWin'); sourceWin.docum ent.open('text/plain');
      sourceWin.docum ent.write(sourc e); sourceWin.docum ent.close(); } void 0

      With Mozilla or Netscape 7.1 you can use Ctrl-a and view selection
      source or you can use the DOM inspector, both ways you should be able to
      see the current document.

          I need to hide the original javascript from visitors and only let them see
          the exact HTML ouput from the js file. Here is a sample script:

          <form>
          <input type=button value="Print Multiplication Table"
          onClick="writeM Table()">
          </form>

          <script language="JavaS cript">
          <!--
          function writeMTable() {

          document.writel n(
          '<html><head><t itle>Multiplica tion Table. For printing, choose File |
          Print</title></head>'
          +'<body> This is HTML output'
          )
          document.writel n('</body></html>')
          document.close( )
          }
          //-->

          writeMTable()
          </script>

          The final output is
          <html><head><ti tle>Multiplicat ion Table. For printing, choose File |
          Print</title></head><body> This is HTML output
          </body></html>

          I want my visitor see exact and only
          <html><head><ti tle>Multiplicat ion Table. For printing, choose File |
          Print</title></head><body> This is HTML output
          </body></html>

          And no JS scripts at all.

          It is a Dynamic pages, so I can not simply save file as a static page. Is
          there a way for Perl to call a JS script to make it output? or Let Lynx
          activate JS scripts?

              That is not possible. The script must be downloaded before it can run. What
              secrets are hidden in the script anyway that nobody is allowed to see?

              Drop the language. Instead ' type="text/javascript" ' is required.

              Drop the 'hiding' comment. It serve no purpose, none.

              Most visitors will not be interested. Neither in the HTML nor in the
              javascript.

              Client-side Javascript is client-side. There is a server-side version on
              some servers. Perl is also server-side. Can't you let Perl do whatever you
              think you need javascript for?

                  This example could be done server-side using CGI/PHP/ASP/JSP/whatever, thus
                  hiding your processing from the client. The output would be straight HTML
                  code which wouldn't reveal any processing code tidbits.

                      This should read

                      <script type="text/javascript">

                      When using ETAGO delimiters within CDATA, especially when writing HTML close
                      tags within "script" elements, ETAGOs (and close tags in general for buggy
                      clients) must be escaped to prevent premature end of the parent element:

                      document.write( '<\/body><\/html>');

                      Besides, the markup you are generating and generating with is both far from
                      Valid HTML.

                      You can then safely omit this, too.

                      For either client-side Perl or server-side JS, maybe.

                      No, and there are plenty of users who have UAs with JS support but have the
                      feature disabled or restricted. You see that generating whole documents
                      with client-side scripting (whatever language is used) is not a viable
                      solution on the Web.
