Simple way to access dom html content

[silver]

Hi

How do I access html contents of dom elements from the browser process ?
like >> document.getElementById("something").innerHTML ?

yes, read that quite a few times. The page mentions about "pushing" things into the javascript context from application.

My application needs to pull out the javascript values/output from the page.

Like ...

Code: Select all

std::string html = Object->SomeCEFfunctionToGetHtml();
process(html);


How ?

You have a few options:

1. Create a bound V8 function in the renderer process. Send an IPC message to the browser process.
2. Implement a custom scheme handler or GetResourceHandler in the browser process. Send an XMLHttpRequest to the browser process.

These can also be combined in various permutations.

I guess, both the above options are "asynchronous".
Is there any way to implement a synchronous function to "call and get" the html right at one place.

You could use a synchronous XMLHttpRequest but it is not recommended.

If i implement a custom scheme handler and make an xhr request on the webpage to this custom scheme,
Won't the browser security block such requests ?

Maybe. It depends on the source and target origin, CSP headers, etc.
