Ask HN: Can I Access the Contents of a contenteditable without JavaScript

by rzach on 6/10/20, 3:04 PM with 1 comments

I'm trying to write a browser-based editor but I don't want to use JS in any way. In fact, I would prefer to use C - basically it will parse the input for syntax highlighting, etc. Basically I need to know, can I access the contents of a contenteditable div through an HTTP server?

    Since contenteditable won't have a value similar to a standard form element [1] it seems you will need Javascript. Either ways, Stack Overflow is a better place to ask questions like this, not HN.
