• javascript

• let us see the website that you're trying this code on. – Okan Kocyigit Commented Jul 24, 2013 at 12:42
• There is a property called innerHTML; – Mārtiņš Briedis Commented Jul 24, 2013 at 12:42
• Without knowing the prototype for the sfdcPage, it's hard to give a better option. You can get the content of the script (if it's a part of the page, as opposed to being a linked-to script) by using it's innerText member. i.e document.getElementsByTagName('tbody')[6].getElementsByTagName('script')[1].innerText From there, you could just grab all of the text between the 3rd and 4th ' characters. indexOf and substr will do that for you. – enhzflep Commented Jul 24, 2013 at 12:48

I would not remend putting script tags within your tables, etc. In other words, I wouldn't mix script tags with other content-related HTML like that. If you want to store little bits of info like that in your HTML for the purpose of JS, I'd use data attributes instead.

The simple answer to your question though is to just use the innerHTML or innerText property as follows:

document.getElementsByTagName('tbody')[6].getElementsByTagName('script')[1].innerHTML;

Use innerHtml as

document.getElementsByTagName('tbody')[6].
    getElementsByTagName('script')[1].
       innerHtml;

OR
Set an id to get script content as below example

<script id='script' type='text/javascript'>
    $('div').html($('#script').html());

    console.log($('script'));
</script>

There are lots of ways to do this. One solution....

 var scrs = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
 var newscr = "";
 for (var i=0; i<scrs.length; i++) {
    newscr = scrs[i].innerHtml.replace('sfdcPage.setHelp(', 'myfunction(');
    if (newscr != scrs[i].innerHtml) {
       eval(newscr);
    }
 }

(although parsing / rewriting the javascript is an ugly hack - if it's your code then your reading then you should know what you put in there).
