Plain text output needed

I am starting to use CKEditor for an internal application where I want to take advantage of the spell checker but DO NOT want to generate HTML when I post the results of the textarea. I started to create a javascript "post-processor" to replace occurances of <p></p> & < (etc) but this is tedious and not foolproof. Has anyone created a DataProcessor that creates plain text? I have disabled the toolbar so that the user cannot bold/underline and all that stuff...

Re: Plain text output needed

Since it's for an internal application and all you want is spell check, Firefox has a built in spell checker and I think you can download an Internet Explorer plugin for spell checking. You wouldn't need CKEditor at all. Then you could use a plain <textarea> but I guess you'd still have the same issue with people manually typing in html.

If you are using PHP on the server side, you could use "strip_tags()" on the textarea content.

Re: Plain text output needed

Thanks but, although it is internal, we cannot control the browser of choice so I'd rather not depend on a plugin for the browser. Although if there is no other option within this product then I will fall back to that.
