Paste as plain text in Firefox

When you enable the option to only allow paste as plain text, this works fine both in IE and Firefox as long as your popup blocker allows popups from whatever site you're on.

However: when the popup blocker does not allow popus, you can still paste HTML and the like.

Is there a way to actually not paste anything, rather than pasting the HMTL formatted text when the popup blocker is on?

RE: Paste as plain text in Firefox

Note that <shift><insert> works as paste without having to deal with the security issues in Firefox.

RE: Paste as plain text in Firefox

That will give you an alert if you try to paste text with popupblocker activated.

in fckeditorcode_gecko_2.js

#replace
if (!F) F=window;var K=F.open('','FCKeditorDialog_'+B,J,true);
#with
if (!F){ F=window;var K=F.open('','FCKeditorDialog_'+B,J,true); if(!K) alert('Please deactivate your popup blocker.') };

Cheers, Oliver

P.S. Could be interesting for the next versin.

RE: Paste as plain text in Firefox

Thanks a bunch, this is already a nice partial solution.

However: the first time this happens you still end up with the HTML.

I've looked in the code but I cannot find what exactly causes pasting the clipboard info when the blocker is on.

Any ideas where to look?

One thing I did manage was to disable paste altogether so that you can only paste using the "Paste as text"-button, which is also independent of pop-up blockers....
