Copy/Paste in IE 11 no longer works

[atopper]

You can't copy and paste text in the editor in IE 11.

The following code in epiceditor.js no longer works because 'selection' is no longer supported and 'createRange' is no longer supported on the getSelection() replacement:

    self.editorIframeDocument.selection.createRange().pasteHTML(content);

I played around a little and this seems to work. May not be the best way but...

    if (self.editorIframeDocument.selection) {
        self.editorIframeDocument.selection.createRange().pasteHTML(content);
    } else {
        var rng = self.editorIframeDocument.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);
        rng.deleteContents();
        var textNode = self.editorIframeDocument.createTextNode(content);
        rng.insertNode(textNode);
    }

Does that work in all browsers? If so, mind sending a PR?

Thanks for the quick reply.

The change works (or more likely, has no affect) on chrome and FF. The new
code (bold) only runs if a JS error would have been thrown in the original
case, so it can't be any worse (not fantastic testing, I admit). I'll
consider a PR, but am not sure I'll get to it any time soon.

function pasteHandler(e) {
  var content;
  if (e.clipboardData) {
    //FF 22, Webkit, "standards"
    e.preventDefault();
    content = e.clipboardData.getData("text/plain");
    self.editorIframeDocument.execCommand("insertText", false, content);
  }
  else if (window.clipboardData) {
    //IE, "nasty"
    e.preventDefault();
    content = window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
    content = content.replace(/</g, '&lt;');
    content = content.replace(/>/g, '&gt;');
    content = content.replace(/\n/g, '<br>');
    content = content.replace(/\r/g, ''); // for ie
    content = content.replace(/<br>\s/g, '<br>&nbsp;');
    content = content.replace(/\s\s\s/g, '&nbsp; &nbsp;');
    content = content.replace(/\s\s/g, '&nbsp; ');
    if (self.editorIframeDocument.selection) {

self.editorIframeDocument.selection.createRange().pasteHTML(content);
}* else {*

•        var rng =
  

  self.editorIframeDocument.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);*

•        rng.deleteContents();*
  

•        var textNode =
  

  self.editorIframeDocument.createTextNode(content);*

•        rng.insertNode(textNode);*
  

•    }*
  

  }
  }
