  • My HTML page does some manipulations with divs -- and I need to get the result of those manipulations. It's not the screenscrapping to get the source HTML w/ Javascript, but actually the result of their execution. Commented Mar 7, 2011 at 17:15

You can check the zombie.js project : http://zombie.labnotes.org/

It should load the page mostly as in a real browser.

Something like JSDOM should do it.

Right, but can't figure out how to I get not just HTML/JS of the window, but the result of their execution there.

Also, a great solution is https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer. Which is Headless Chrome Node API and maintained by Chrome DevTools team.

But it is very slow at loading pages, while still faster than competitors like Phantom
