Is there a way to view the jQuery (or Javascript) generated HTML - for example, see the jQuery-modified source of a page that uses a number of prepend()'s html()'s etc.?
Use Firebug to look at the current DOM, although it is an interpretation of the HTML.
You can inspect the page with firefox addon FireBug though:
(source: gnucitizen.org)
In addition to Firebug as the other answers suggest, you can also use the built-in Chrome developer tools:
To access the tools you can do it the same way as Firebug, just right click and select Inspect Element.
Download the Web Developer plug-in for FireFox. Then Right click on the page, the select Web Developer -> View Source -> View generated source

can I use the html code highlighter from the browser to my website HTML code color "Inspect element" window code color without any plugins like codemirror?
Yes: all browsers have some kind of inbuilt developers tools that let you inspect a website's HTML, CSS and other components. The shortcut and method for activating them is different for each, but all of them have a 'highlighter' that allows you to click an element on the page in order to inspect it.
Read more here on using developer tools in all broswers -> http://devtoolsecrets.com/
Chrome's developer tools are arguably the most widely known, commonly used and most powerful. Shortcut is SHIFT + CTRL + J.
edit: in light of the comments below, it looks like OP is after a specific feature of Codemirror that lets you highlight syntax. This is not possible natively in browser.
I am looking for a way in IE to view the html source generated from jQuery code.
Ex.
HTML:
<div id="myDiv"></div>
jquery:
var wrapper = $("myDiv");
var generated = $("<div>Hello world</div>");
wrapper.append(generated);
I'd like to be able to examine and hopefully tweak the source generated by appending the generated element, not in Chrome or Firefox, but in IE 8 (where the problem is). I think that IE Developer Tools only shows the downloaded source, not what is generated.
Thanks.
Try going to the HTML tab in IE developer tools and press the refresh icon (next to the save icon), it will show the latest DOM.
Example:
Go to script tab and do:
document.body.appendChild( document.createElement("div") );
Then go to the HTML tab and hit the refresh icon and open the body tag, it should show the appended div now.
I recommend Firebug Lite - http://getfirebug.com/firebuglite (it's Firebug for IE, sort of)
You should get Firebug Lite. You can check the code that jQuery does and much more.
Anyway, I recommend that you put Google Chrome Frame compatibility on your site, it will eliminate plenty of problems with your site (with the people that have Google Chrome Frame installed).
I have an HTML document with inline javascript which adds some <div> elements. The elements appear on the screen, but I can't see any change in the HTML source after the elements have been added. I use the latest version of chrome, and I do "View" -> "Page Source".
Seeing changes in the HTML would really help for debugging!
Right-click on the element and select "inspect element"
Use firebug when using Firefox
For Chrome there is built in tool(use Ctrl+Shift+I)
Use Firefox, install web developer and choose "view source"=>"view generated source"
Is there any tool or addon which can be used for testing or identifying Javascript functions in real time (i.e. on click or some events )..
e.g. on a website, I want to know after clicking on a link, which all JS functions are being called/executed..I know sometimes it is stragightforward from the code, but in case it uses JS libraries like jQuery, the actual function call is made from otside..
How can I do that?
*I'll really appreciate if, alongwith the addon, you just write a short description as to where can I find the Javascript finction tracking in that **
Thank you.
Try Firebug. It's one of the most useful firefox addons. Grab it here:
http://getfirebug.com/
Dragonfly (Opera), or Firebug extension for Firefox, or any other good javascript debugger
See Visual Event. It is a bookmarklet that overlays element event handler information.
FireQuery is available as a firefox plugin which adds handler information inside of firebug.
Firebug includes a JavaScript profiler. Give it a try.
http://getfirebug.com/javascript
In Chrome, right click the page and choose Inspect element, go to the console, start javascripting! Choose the scripts tag to get debugger functionality.
How to get effective HTML after executing all scripts?
Actually scripts are adding and modifying control and css in the page. I would like to see html of resultant display as a static page. Is there any way to get this?
Edit: Suppose if background image is added using javascript, How can i see in Html OR css?
Please try to get this before giving answer.
One way would be to use Firefox with the Firebug extension.
Firebug is an extension for web developers. Among other things, it offers an "HTML panel":
The HTML panel displays the generated
HTML/XML of the currently opened page.
It differs from the normal source code
view, because it also displays all
manipulations on the DOM tree.
[...]
A similar solution for MS Internet Explorer would be the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar.
Note that both solution are browser-specific. There is no way to get the resultant HTML independent of the browser used, because this HTML only exists in the working memory of the browser (so you cannot, say, sniff it on the network).
Use the firebug plugin for firefox, with it you can 'view generated source'.
This is a javascript approach. Unfortunately, it doesn't work perfect. For example, it doesn't include the contents of textarea's.
document.documentElement.innerHTML
Another way is selecting everyting (Ctrl + A) and choose 'View selection source' from a context menu.
The Web Developer Toolbar addon for Firefox has a 'View Generated Source' button that let's you do that. It's under the 'View Source' Menu of the toolbar.
It presents manipulated document as a static source, like what the "View Source" option does, but with modification by the Javascript.
