when to use "Get DOM text of the page"

[rupertshih]

hi

If I want to find some words in a page, do I use "Get DOM text of the page" or "Get page text"?

when to use "Get DOM text of the page"?
and when to use "Get page text"?
and when to use "Get source of the page"?

Thanks

Damn, I always use page source.
Could you explain why getting DOM text is better than page source?

DOM text is more completely presentation of the page, with applied CSS styles to elements ans scripts.
