html - get the text content from a contenteditable div through javascript

Question

I want retrieve the text content from a contentEditable div through javascript. What are the options of doing this? I've tried innerHTML but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Why not use textContent for this:

var contenteditable = document.querySelector('[contenteditable]'),
    text = contenteditable.textContent;
