I need to write a javascript function that reads the html for the current document and puts it into a hidden field on a form. The idea is to have the function run through the document and recreate it. Anyone know of a function for that purpose. Thanks.

Something like "toHtmlText" on a DOM element object. The problem with innerHTML is that older versions of Netscape do not support it. IE and Netscape 6+/Mozilla only.

All that did was remind me of the fruit in the "Sledgehammer" video by Peter Gabriel.
