[Solved] strip out html?

[cdutson]

is there any way to strip out the html that the user dumps in on save or something?

eg.

<b>hello</b><br/> this is a test.

would become "hello this is a test." or "hello\n this is a test".

Im sure I could third-party it (use some insane regex in a javascript/c# replace), but I am sort of hoping it is in some hidden nook of the RAD Editor, or if someone has already done this.

Thanks a bunch!

Hello Corey,

The editor offers both a server and a client side ability to get its content as plain text. On the server you can just use the editor.Text property. It will supply you with the plain text representation of the content. On the client you can use the GetText() method, which again returns plain text.

You can read more about the editor server/client API in the online documentation at http://www.telerik.com/support/documentation/r.a.d.editor.aspx

Hi,

Is there a way by which we can selectively filter the HTML.

Meaning, In our application in one of the screens we want to strip all the html except <br/> and also retain the new lines for the bullets.

Server side functionality for doing this would be good as we need to display this in RadGrid.

Thanks

Kartik

Hello,

The MOSSRadEditor control has a property Text, which returns only the text value of the editor. You can use it to strip all HTML from the editor content. If you want to preserve the <br/> tags, simply replace them with something else before you use the Text property. For example:

Editor1.Content = Editor1.Content.Replace("<br/>", "%EDITORBREAK%");
String textContent = Editor1.Text;
textContent = textContent.Replace("%EDITORBREAK%", "<br/>");
