  • 0

When i paste any text in any element with ‘contentEditable’ flag enabled, IE automatically finds the hyperlinks or email address and replaces them with

<a href="hyperlink">hyperlink</a>.

How can i disable this automatic url detection for elements(e.g. div, span etc.) with ‘contentEditable’ flag in IE or aleast get the actual text that was pasted in the div.

Best Regards,
Keshav

    I don’t think you can. You’ll need catch the paste event and set a brief timer that calls a function that removes links.

    Edit 30 September 2012

    IE 9 and above has the ability to switch this off. See Maxon’s answer.
