Lately, I have seen that scribd makes it very difficult for users (free users) to browse through a
document hosted on their site. There is no ability to search within a document, let alone being
able to download the same.

Using javascript, they load pages on demand in the browser, and so the browser's "save as"
feature does not help much.

To my amazement, I saw that even copy/ pasting text copies gibberish to the clipboard! To
check out what was wrong, I turned off somehow decodes the gibberish text and then displays
it in the browser.

Now, my question is, even after javascript is enabled, and the text is rendered properly in the
browser, if I go and look at the DOM objects corresponding to the text I select, I still see the
gibberish text.

So, now, I am confused. The text is displayed alright to the user, but the DOM objects still
contain gibberish. So the question is, what kind of javascript hooks/ code is the site using, so as
to be able to retain the objects and still render the decoded text?

Is there a way I can access the decoded text? My intention is the algorithm to decode, but to
locate being stored?

javascript in the browser and then loaded the same document again. Voila, I did. And so, it
looks like the javascript from scribd
