What I want to do is extract all text inside a rich edit box (i.e., an
HTML document inside an <iframe> with designMode = "on"), while still
keeping line breaks.
There are other approaches I explored, but they didn't work out:
- Using the DOM Range methods. Calling rangeObject.toString()
retrieves all the text, but line breaks are lost and the extracted
plain text is a garbled mess.
Well, this javascript bookmarklet worked for me on a random web page:
javascript: var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.body); alert(range.toString());
That gives you back text with line breaks from the original HTML source,
not the line breaks the user sees when the HTML is rendered in the
browser. Try doing a Select All on a Web page, then execute the following:
javascript:alert(window.getSelection());
Compare that with the output from your bookmarklet code. The result
from window.getSelection() is what I want.
