PhantomJS - content Property

This property contains the contents of a webpage.

Syntax

Its syntax is as follows −

var page = require('webpage').create();
page.content;

To show an example let us open up a page and console and see what we get in page.content.

The open webpage method in detail will be discussed later. Right now, we will use it to explain the properties with it.

Example

The following example shows how you can use the content property.

var wpage = require('webpage').create(),url  = 'http://localhost/tasks/a.html'; 
wpage.open(url, function(status) { 
   if (status) { 
      console.log(status); 
      var content = wpage.content; 
      console.log('Content: ' + content); 
      phantom.exit(); 
   } else { 
      console.log("could not open the file");  
      phantom.exit(); 
   }   
});

The above program generates the following output.

Success 
Content: <html>
   <head></head> 

   <body> 
      <script type = "text/javascript"> 
         console.log('welcome to cookie example'); 
         document.cookie = "username = Roy; expires = Thu, 22 Dec 2017 12:00:00 UTC"; 
      </script> 
      
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1> 
      <h1>This is a test page</h1>  
   </body>
</html>

Here, we will use the local page to fetch the contents and the output of the page that is shown above. The page.content function works just like the view source function of the browser.
