Okay!... I\'m facing this for hours now...
html
I think must be like this:
$('div').keyup(function(e){
$('textarea').val($(this).text().replace('<br>',/\r\n/ig));
});
$('textarea').keyup(function(e){
$('div').html($(this).val().replace(/\r\n/ig, '<br>'));
});
You can do two things:
You can use the nobr tag
You can also add the style attribute:
<div style="display:inline;"></div>
try taking a look at this question perhaps? slightly different situation as he's trying to communicate to the server, but i think the answer should be similar.
this code was previously posted by Gert G, but it seems to have disappeared. the code below seems to work flawlessly, so rep to Gert G on this one.
$('div').keydown(function(){
$('textarea').val($(this).html());
});
$('textarea').keydown(function(){
$('div').html($(this).val().replace(/\n/g,"<br />"));
})
This code works in Firefox:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('div').keydown(function(){
$('textarea').val($(this).html().replace(/<br>/g,"\n"));
});
$('textarea').keydown(function(){
$('div').html($(this).val().replace(/\n/g,"<br>"));
})
});
Then, if you're using Opera, the browser makes line breaks as <p>....</p>
. IE, which Reigel probably use, probably adds those <div>...</div>
tags. Seems there's no real standard way on how to handle line breaks when the DIV tag is contenteditable.
It'd be easiest to use phpjs.org's nl2br function: http://phpjs.org/functions/nl2br:480
EDIT (fully working -- tested)
I tested this on your fiddle and it worked:
$('div').keyup(function(){
$('textarea').val( $(this).html().replace( /<br>/g, '\n' ) );
//$('textarea').val($(this).html()) // also not working as expected
});
$('textarea').keyup(function(){
$('div').html( nl2br( $(this).val(), 0 ) )
});
function nl2br (str, is_xhtml) {
// Converts newlines to HTML line breaks

var breakTag = (is_xhtml || typeof is_xhtml === 'undefined') ? '' : '<br>';
return (str + '').replace(/([^>\r\n]?)(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)/g, '$1'+ breakTag +'$2');
}
