I want retrieve the text content from a contentEditable div through javascript. What are the options of doing this? I've tried innerHTML but it doesn't work.
Use this:
function textFromDiv(selector) {
const element = document.querySelector(selector);
const text = element.html().replace(/<div>/g,"\n").replace(/<\/div>/g,"").replace(/<br>/g,"\n");
return text;
}```
Here's my spin at it...
input = document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0];
input.onkeyup = function(){
text = "";
for(i=0; i<input.childNodes.length; i++){
text += input.childNodes[i].textContent + "\n";
}
text = text.trim();
console.log(text);
}
Vanilla JS solution
html:
<div
contenteditable="true"
onkeyup="myFunction(this, event)"
></div>
js:
function myFunction(self, event){
console.log(self.innerText)
console.log(event)
}
