How to access content in contenteditable div?

Bishop · 2024-02-25T21:41:50.491+00:00

I'm using essentially the same logic as accessing content as it changes in a textarea, but the only difference is that its coming up undefined when i try to access Event, target, value.How can I access whatever is inside the div's text so I can save it?

its the 'set answer: value' where its getting 'undefined' as i type in the contenteditable text.

when i enter info in the contenteditable div and access it via dom, i get this [object HTMLDivElement] and so thought the following would work to access it
but that returns undefined?

this seemed like it should work
but it didn't

using innerText actually causes it to all blank out when i start typing. that is interesting...

i looked at the source
and it shows my contenteditable div with a span in it, so i tried this following Get and it just now says 'undefined' again

Ok so I had to make an action that triggered an event to get the data back to toddle.

So if anyone needs it here is the action to read the contents of contenteditable=true texts in toddle.

I think its a bit clunky and would love to see it built into toddle itself as a formula.

There is no testdata on the event - I'll see if I can add it - but you can use Get.

The screenshot is from our canvas implementation in toddle, where we let you edit text directly in the canvas, using contenteditable. That's how we handle it without any cusom code 👍 It is set on the input event on the element with contenteditable.
