How to get innerHTML of whole page in selenium driver?

by

To get the HTML for the whole page:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")

html = driver.page_source

To get the outer HTML (tag included):

# HTML from `<html>`
html = driver.execute_script("return document.documentElement.outerHTML;")

# HTML from `<body>`
html = driver.execute_script("return document.body.outerHTML;")

# HTML from element with some JavaScript
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#hireme")
html = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].outerHTML;", element)

# HTML from element with `get_attribute`
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#hireme")
html = element.get_attribute('outerHTML')

To get the inner HTML (tag excluded):

# HTML from `<html>`
html = driver.execute_script("return document.documentElement.innerHTML;")

# HTML from `<body>`
html = driver.execute_script("return document.body.innerHTML;")

# HTML from element with some JavaScript
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#hireme")
html = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].innerHTML;", element)

# HTML from element with `get_attribute`
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#hireme")
html = element.get_attribute('innerHTML')
