313743 - View source does not show actual rendered source

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 60426

(Toolkit :: View Source, enhancement)

Description

[subscryer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051003 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051003 Firefox/1.0.7

When I use view source I see the page as served by the webserver, however in many cases it would be nice to see the page as it is seen by the renderer. That is: after javascript has altered it etc. Very useful for debugging, inspecting suspicius web pages (presence or absence of https forms) etc...
A workaround is to select text in the page and hit view selected source, but it's not always an option or a handy one.

Reproducible: Always

View Source is designed to show the original source, not the DOM.  In addition to View Selection Source, you can use the DOM Inspector extension if installed.

See Bug 120457 comment #21 for bookmarklet to see InnerHTML.
Although the innerHTML is not always proper HTML which user is seeing, displaying innerHTML is very usefull in debugging or inspecting.
