Copy text (plain text) from tinymce to textarea

Question

Not sure if any of you did this or not, but wanted some of them to be there.

I have a TinyMce editor (in the MVC3 view) that the user can basically create an “email template" for. In addition, I have another text box without TinyMce.

I want to be able to copy plain text from TinyMce into a text box (this will be a text version of the email). I saw some js to cross out the code, but I would like to take the links (tags) and copy the urls. Also

Let me know if you have any questions! I am very grateful for any help you can give!

Answer 1

What you need is to first get the content, cut out some of the content, and then put it in the text box. It is not so difficult:

• var content = tinymce.get('my_editor_id').getContent({format : 'raw', no_events : 1});
• Use the strip_tags descibed function here to cut unwanted tags

// keep p,div and br tags in this example content = strip_tags( content,'<p><div><br>');

3. document.getElementsById('my_textarea').innerHTML = content;

Answer 2

I do not assume that $ ("# TinyMceContainer"). does text () work?
