What you've seen is the difference of the htmltext of a browser
(also of a browser widget) and the *generated* htmltext.
The latter includes for example also parts that are generated by
JavaScript parts of the htmltext.

One of the best ideas Mark Waddingham ever had that he later abandoned
was about ten years ago when he proposed adding "xmlText" as a synonym
for "htmlText", flagging "htmlText" for eventual deprecation

Try this:
put url tURL into tSource -- the source text
set the htmlText of fld "HTMLText" to tSource -- LC's display
LC only supports a subset of HTML, so when you put the source into a
field, only the supported parts go in. But you can grab the unadultered
source first.

Htmltext of a field is not the same as htmltext of the browser widget. A
LiveCode field only supports a fraction of html. In your example you need to
just set the text of the field to see the page source. Setting htmetext forces
LiveCode to render the html and anything it does not understand
Thanks for getting back to me on this.

I thought it was the source code originally too,
but it doesn’t work correctly.
For example:
set the HTMLText of field "HTMLTextField1" to URL field "WebAddre
You can execute a small javascript to grab the HTML. I’ve done something
similar in an Instagram Scraper I just built….
First you need to set up a callback function in the widget under javascript
handlers e.g. jscallback then you can call a javascript that calls you back
with whatever you want.
