How would you pass whole HTML code of the current screen to ASP.NET controller action

Question

I would like to know if there is an elegant way to pass the whole HTML code of the current screen to ASP.NET Controller action

Why do you want to do that? And if someone says "yes, there is", then what's your next question? — mason, Feb 07 '18 at 01:05

Just for fun, and since I wanted to try SO run snippets :), this trivial sample may get you started.

function foo() {
  var ele = document.getElementById("result");
  var html = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
  ele.innerText = html;
}

<button type="button" onclick="foo()">Try Me</button>
<p>
  <textarea id="result" cols="80" rows="10"></textarea>
</p>

Now you have your "HTML source" text, well, except for the top level html element.
You can do whatever you want to POST it somewhere, however you choose, which I'll leave up to you to handle :)

Fun times ~
