[Flashcoders] Cut and paste to textarea from MS Word
I have been working on allowing users to cut and past from word into a textarea. For html/php based applications I have always used tidy on the server to clean up the clipboard from everything that MS Word puts in it's text. Here is an example. paste: This isn¹t stuff ³this is neat² but wrong¹ Comes out as: This isn?t the write stuff ?this is neat? ?but nothing? Does anyone have a class for cleaning up the input text?

Wait - except you are looking for an Actionscript only class, right? Maybe that link wouldn't help, sorry.

I am going to write an AS 2.0 class to do the same thing. Thanks for the help NaughtyWordsChars detects double-quotes, single-quotes, elipses, em dashes, and en dashes. They can be replaced with either ASCII equivalents or html character entities. The detection can be toggled on an entry's title, entry body, extended entry, keywords, and excerpt.
