Question

YUI Editor: Getting rid of <html> tags in content.

Answer 1

A:

One solution would be this, it uses regular expressions to catch everything between <body> and </body>. Example (modified from the YUI editor page):

var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('msgpost');
myEditor.render();

YAHOO.util.Event.on('somebutton', 'click', function() {
    myEditor.saveHTML();

    //The var html will now have the contents of the textarea
    var html = myEditor.get('element').value, match;

    match = html.match(/<body[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/body>/i);
    html = match ? match[1] : html;
});

Answer 2

+1 A:

In the meantime I solved the problem myself by parsing the html on submit. Yes I know, I wasn't looking for this solution at first, but finally I came to the conclusion that it is the easiest way to solve it. I used the Nokogiri RubyGem for Rails to do the parsing:

value = Nokogiri::HTML(yui_content).css('body').to_html 
value.gsub!(/<body>/,'') 
value.gsub!(/<\/body>/,'')
