get the text content from a contenteditable div through javascript
Why not use textContent for this:
var contenteditable = document.querySelector('[contenteditable]'),
text = contenteditable.textContent;

Unfortunately, I've found that innerText
is the only way to preserve newlines in contenteditable dom nodes. What I'm doing (tested only in chrome at the moment) is this:
var innerText = editableDiv.innerText // using innerText here because it preserves newlines
if(innerText[innerText.length-1] === '\n')
innerText = innerText.slice(0,-1) // get rid of weird extra newline
return innerText
lblMailContent
is the id of editable field.
var details= document.getElementById("lblMailContent").innerHTML;
Put this code in clientClick
. It worked well for me.
