Clean Microsoft Word Pasted Text using JavaScript
- by OneNerd
I am using a 'contenteditable' div and enabling PASTE.
It is amazing the amount of markup code that gets pasted in from a clipboard copy from Microsoft Word. I am battling this, and have gotten about 1/2 way there using Prototypes' stripTags() function (which unfortunately does not seem to enable me to keep some tags).
However, even after that, I wind up with a mind-blowing amount of unneeded markup code.
So my question is, is there some function (using JavaScript), or approach I can use that will clean up the majority of this unneeded markup?
Thanks -
