Remove formatting from a contentEditable div

Question

I have a contentEditable Div and I want remove any formatting especially for copy and paste text.

Answer 1

I'd like to add my solution to this issue:

ContentEditableElement.addEventListener('input', function(ev) {
  if(ev.target.innerHTML != ev.target.textContent) {

    // determine position of the text caret
    var caretPos = 0,
      sel, range;
    sel = window.getSelection();
    if (sel.rangeCount) {
      range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
      var children = ev.target.childNodes;
      var keepLooping = true;
      for(let i = 0; keepLooping; i++) {
        if(children[i] == range.commonAncestorContainer || children[i] == range.commonAncestorContainer.parentNode) {
          caretPos += range.endOffset;
          keepLooping = false;
        } else {
          caretPos += children[i].textContent.length;
        }
      }

      // set the element's innerHTML to its textContent
      ev.target.innerHTML = ev.target.textContent;

      // put the caret where it was before
      range = document.createRange();
      range.setStart(ev.target.childNodes[0], caretPos);
      range.collapse(true);
      sel.removeAllRanges();
      sel.addRange(range);
    }
  }
});

(this isn't compatible with older versions of IE)
