If I remember correctly, the html you will see using that method is Ies version of the html, not what it has actually received. So if you right click and then do a view source, and then in watir do a ie.document.body.parentelement.outerhtml
You are likely to see different things I dont think there was a way to find the 'raw' html Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jørgen Bang Erichsen Sent: 03 April 2006 15:01 To: [email protected] Subject: [Wtr-general] W3C validation problems Hi, Inspired by http://redgreenblu.com/svn/projects/assert_valid_markup/lib/assert_valid _markup.rb I would like to have an easy way to validate the html on the page IE is currently showing. Unfortunately, I have a problem with the html that ie.document.body.parentelement.outerhtml outputs :-( Take a look at the following example: require 'test/unit' require 'watir' require 'net/http' require 'cgi' require 'xmlsimple' class ValidationExample < Test::Unit::TestCase include Watir def test_w3c_validate ie = IE.new ie.goto 'validator.w3.org/' html = ie.document.body.parentelement.outerhtml response = Net::HTTP.start('validator.w3.org').post2('/check', "fragment=#{CGI.escape(html)}&output=xml") markup_is_valid = response['x-w3c-validator-status']=='Valid' message = markup_is_valid ? '' : XmlSimple.xml_in(response.body)['messages'][0]['msg'].collect{ |m| "Invalid markup: line #{m['line']}: #{CGI.unescapeHTML(m['content'])}" }.join("\n") assert markup_is_valid, message ie.close end end When I run the example I get stuff like: Invalid markup: line 1: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>" Invalid markup: line 1: there is no attribute "XML:LANG" Invalid markup: line 1: there is no attribute "XMLNS" The html returned by ie.document.body.parentelement.outerhtml is <HTML lang=en xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <HEAD> <TITLE>The W3C Markup Validation Service</TITLE> <LINK rev=made href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <LINK title="Home Page" rev=start href="./"> but if I view the source from IE itself it is something like <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>The W3C Markup Validation Service</title> <link rev="made" href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" /> <link rev="start" href="./" title="Home Page" /> ... The DOCTYPE line and several quotes are missing. Is there any way to get the unmodified html for the current page? If people are doing automatic validation any other way I am open to suggestions.
