How to convert WebElement into html string ?

[Joeyjoey]

I would like to know how I can convert my WebElement element, into an
html string representation.

I would then like to parse this string into a standard Java xpath
library.

The FireFoxDriver's xpath has some limitations, so I am choosing this
approach.

Use the JavascriptExecutor to get the innerHTML of the element:

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
"return arguments[0].innerHTML", element);
