Output

Okay, since the page is still rendered in your browser, even though the original server source is gone, the browser holds the current state of the page's Document Object Model (DOM). You can access this DOM using JavaScript. The most straightforward way to get the HTML of the currently rendered page is to access the `outerHTML` property of the document's root element (`<html>`). Here's the JavaScript code you can type into the Chrome DevTools Console: 

1
document.documentElement.outerHTML
**How to use it:** 1. **Open DevTools:** Right-click anywhere on the defunct page and select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element", or press `F12` (or `Cmd+Option+I` on Mac). 2. **Go to Console:** Click on the "Console" tab in the DevTools window. 3. **Paste the Code:** Paste the following code into the console prompt (`>`): 
1
2
    document.documentElement.outerHTML
4. **Press Enter:** Hit the Enter key. The console will output the *entire* HTML source code of the currently rendered page, starting from the `<html>` tag. **To easily copy the output:** Many modern browsers (including Chrome) have a handy `copy()` function built into the console. Use this for cleaner copying: 
1
copy(document.documentElement.outerHTML);
**Steps using `copy()`:** 1. Open DevTools Console (as above). 2. Paste this command: `copy(document.documentElement.outerHTML);` 3. Press Enter. 4. The entire HTML will be copied to your clipboard. You won't see it printed directly in the console (it might just say `undefined`), but it's copied. 5. Paste the content into a text editor (like Notepad, VS Code, Sublime Text, TextEdit) and save it as an `.html` file. **Important Considerations:** 1. **Rendered State:** This captures the HTML *as it currently exists in the browser*, including any modifications made by JavaScript after the initial page load. It might not be identical to the *original* source code sent by the server. 2. **DOCTYPE:** This method usually doesn't include the `<!DOCTYPE ...>` declaration which typically comes *before* the `<html>` tag. If you need that for strict validation, you'll likely have to add it manually (e.g., `<!DOCTYPE html>`) at the very beginning of your saved file. 3. **Resources:** This only saves the HTML structure. Linked resources like CSS files, JavaScript files, and images are *not* saved within this HTML. If you open the saved HTML file locally, it might look different if it can't access those external resources (unless they were embedded directly in the page using `<style>` tags or base64 encoding).
