My page has multiple containers along with some elements. I performed drag and drop operations on the container elements. Initially i stored the element sequence structure and later after all drag operations before leaving the page i was storing sequence of the elements in the page. Now i need to compare current structure with existing structure. Before that i need to store html page into dom so that i can able to perform operations and replace the actual page.

If i am directly dumping html content to some element through innerHTML or html(). In those scenarios i was facing same id issues..

if i have dom object i can access like domObject.documentElementById()

can any one help me to fix the issue.. Thanks in advance

In jQuery you can do something like:

// Loading body into dom

myhtml = $('body').html();               
$mh = $(myHtml);              


// Accessing and manipulating html in dom

$mh.find('h1');                       // Find all H1 from dom html.
$mh.find('h1').addClass('active');    // Add active class to all H1.

Hope this help you get through.

With javascript, document object should be available to you and then you can have body element with your document object. so you can get innerHtml of body content without any id issue

syntax might be something like document.body.innerHTML() for getting body inner HTML contents.

however for replace body content of page you can also use document.body.innerHTML = '<div>div inside body</div>' something like this.

but to do all these, first you need to make sure that you have DOM object available
