Hi,

You won't be able to do that directly with GetHtml because GetHtml follows DOM tree and in a DOM tree, an iframe element generally has no childNodes (it can have text node that represents the text in between it's open tag and close tag, but it won't have anything to do with the actual document being loaded inside the frame). If you right click to get the full page source from a browser you wouldn't get the iframe contents either.

The contents of the iframe belongs to a different document and has its own DOM tree. So it's possible for you to use EvalScript to get the HTML of each document and then merge them together. You would need to use this overload to pass the frame name in order to get the HTML of that frame:

The code will be something like this:

For main frame:



for child frame:



You can then merge the result of the child frame HTML into the main frame HTML by locating the matching iframe tag and insert the child frame HTML in between the iframe's open tag and close tag if that's the desired result for you.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this is not supported by the core browser engine. The GetHtml method relies on the browser's engine's WebFrameContentDumper class's dumpAsMarkup to do the work. This class does not support the level of nesting iframe output as you described. Generally we do not add extra features to the core browser engine as different users would want different things and it would cause the code base become unmanageable for us if we choose to deviate from Chromium's codebase every time there is a feature request.

Where do you see "View Source" show you the contents of the iframe? What browser do you use? We tested Google Chrome and it only shows the iframe element itself, but not the content of the iframe.
