RADEditor StripFormattingOnPaste for ContentAreaMode="DIV"

[Philippe]

Hello,

we have a limitation that requires us to use the ContentAreaMode="DIV" on our project.

The issue we have is that, at the moment, we would like to strip word formatting.
What we did until now is to strip manually tags on server side, as we could not make the StripFormattingOnPaste work in this mode.

As our users saw recently the demo on the site, they would like to have it done client side. Our issue is show here:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" 

    StripFormattingOnPaste="All" ContentAreaMode="DIV" ID="RadEditor1">

    <Content>

    </Content>

</telerik:RadEditor>

With this code, removing ContentAreaMode does make the Stripping work

Is there any workaround ?

Best regards

Philippe

Hello Philippe,

The problem is logged for fixing in our PITS system. The temporary workaround is to strip the formatting when submitting the content using the code below:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientLoad(editor, args){
    editor.fire("SelectAll");
    editor.fire("FormatStripper", { value: "WORD" }); //strips the MS Word formatting
}
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" StripFormattingOptions="All" ContentAreaMode="DIV"
    ID="RadEditor1">
    <Content>
    </Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>
<asp:Button Text="Submit" ID="Submit"  runat="server" />

Hi,

I came across this issue also. However, I had to change the event from OnClientLoad to OnClientSubmit for this to work.
I did this as found on the demo http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/cleaningwordformatting/defaultcs.aspx

I am using RADEditor for the Dotnetnyuke (6.2.6 CE) and have the problem of Strip Formatting on Paste does not work in the div mode (only the iFrame default mode). I need the div mode as the iFrame mode does work well with the RTL skin of my portal, i.e. I can only edit in LTR dir.

The dotnetnuke forums could not help in this issue.

I am aware of the strip on submit that is not possible in my case as I need to have tables and other formatting toolbar buttons.

I am wondering was Telerik able to resolve the issue of StripFormattingOnPaste since this last posting as I could no see any other posting with that regards.

Hello,

The workaround that I would propose is to attach to the onpaste event of the div content area and fire the PasteFromWord command of RadEditor, which will open the Paste from Word dialog. Your users will paste the Word content in it and after clicking the Paste button, the stripped content will be pasted in the editor:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="txtItemSubject" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"
 ContentAreaMode="Div">
</telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
 editor.attachEventHandler("paste", function (e) {
    editor.fire("PasteFromWord");
    $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e);
    return false;
});
}
</script>

For your convenience I have recorded a video demonstrating my test and the workaround: http://screencast.com/t/kD7eoYak.

That is great!

Many thanks for the reply, I have made reference to your workaround in the DNN forums.
