Try applying stripTags to it:
stripTags: function() {
return this.replace(/<\/?[^>]+>/gi, '');
},
This is part of prototype, no need to add the code anywhere.
Another thing you might look at is using one of the many fine flavors
of "plain text" formats, like Textile or Markdown, and use an editing
helper with that. You can load the editor with the raw text using the
loadExternalText method. You would load your editor with the plain
text (with bits of punctuation sprinkled in to indicate the style)
but any HTML display of the same text would go through the
appropriate formatter and become XHTML.
Keep the HTML out of your database if at all possible!
