Issue
This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by Omer Nave
I’m trying to modify the content a user copies and remove hidden chars from the text and html.
My current solution:
onCopyBodyText(event) {
const selection = document.getSelection();
const fragment = selection.getRangeAt(0).cloneContents();
const html = $('<div>').append(fragment).html();
let trimmedSelection = selection?.toString()?.trim();
trimmedSelection = trimmedSelection?.replace(/uFEFF/g, "");
event.clipboardData.setData("text/plain", trimmedSelection);
event.clipboardData.setData("text/html", html.replace(/uFEFF/g, ""));
event.preventDefault();
}
the text/plain works as expected, but the text/html can lose its original structure.
for example if I copy –
- a
- a
- a
the pasted result will be –
- a
- a
- a
is it possible to get the copied html and modify it directly?
