Question

I’m trying to strip MS Word formatting on a paste into a Telerik RadEditer. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get the built in format stripper to work.

//performing paste
var editor = $find("radEditor1");
editor.setFocus();
var rng = editor.getSelection().getRange();
rng.execCommand("Paste", null, false);

//does nothing! (even when uncommented)
//editor.fire("FormatStripper", {value: "MSWordRemoveAll" });

So I figure I could leverge jQuery to string all the attributes out of the tags and that may just do exactly what I need.

//fixing content
var html = editor.get_html();
$("*", html).each(function(){
    var attr = $.map(this.attributes, function(item){
        return item.name;
    });
    var node = $(this);
    $.each(attr, function(i, item){
        //added a filter for crazy Error
        if(item != "dataSrc" && 
            item != "implementation" && 
            item != "dataFld" && 
            item != "dataFormatAs" &&
            item != "nofocusrect" &&
            item != "dateTime" &&
            item != "cite")
            node.removeAttr(item);
    });  
});
editor.set_html(html);

Now after this function completes my html variable does not have it’s html updated…

I think I have it.

var html = editor.get_html();
var parent = $('<div></div>').html(html);
$(parent).find('*').each(function(){
    var attr = $.map(this.attributes, function(item){
        return item.name;
    });
    var tag = $(this);
    $.each(attr, function(i, item){
       tag.removeAttr(item);
    });
});
editor.set_html(parent.html());​

Unfortunately I’m still having issues with my RadEditor but that is normal.
