You cannot extract the generated HTML in that situation.  The only way to
get the generated HTML would be to actually run the Javascript and capture
its output.  Which means parsing the original HTML, extracting the
Javascript code, setting up your own COM objects to mimic the Internet
Explorer DOM, and then running everything through the Windows Scripting
Host.  In other words, you are looking at a lot of extra work in order to
handle dynamic content.

That is because you are extracting the original raw HTML, not the
javascript-modified HTML.

You don't need to copy to the clipboard to get the selected text.  You can
query it from the DOM directly.
