Remove all tags except for img tag

I need an regular expression or something else to remove all tags in a contentEditable div, but to keep img tag with specific class or id, how I can do this?

Now I use:

.replace(/(<\/?.*?>)/gi, '');

but it removes all tags.

I made this 开发者_如何学运维:

var element = document.getElementById("myDiv").children;
   for(var i=0; i<element .length;i++)
   {
     if(element[i].tagName != "IMG" || element[i].className != "requiredClassName")
     {
       element[i].parentNode.removeChild(element[i]);
     }
   }

var child=document.getElementById('editableDIV').firstChild;
while(child) {
  var removeNode=null;
  if(child.tagName&&(child.tagName.toUpperCase()!=='IMG'||
     child.id!=='myid'||
     child.className!=='myclass')) removeNode=child;
  child=child.nextSibling;
  if(removeNode)removeNode.parentNode.removeChild(removeNode);
}

( if you need plain JS ): Maybe the better way is to collect all elements then after check their class/id and perform action. Good idea is to use DOM, not regexp. DOM is for HTML elements manipulation.

( or use jQuery ): Simple code can do that thing. Just collect all div's children and check their class in .each() loop;

For e.g.:

$('#contentEditable').each( function( index ) {
    if( !this.is( 'img' ) && ( this.is('.someclass') || this.is('#someid') ) ) {
        this.remove();
    }
});

Hope it helps you.

P.S.: Be careful when you are using greedy quantification .*

It will get all text between any < >, so if you have code listed below regexp (<\/?.*?>) will collect whole code.

<div class="container">
    <div id="header">
        <div id="portalLink">
            <a class="genu" href="http://stackexchange.com">Stack Exchange</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

var editableDiv = document.getElementById("MyEditableDiv")
var editableDivImgs = editableDiv.getElementsByTagName("img")
for (var i = 0; i < editableDivImgs.length; i++) {
    if(editableDivImgs[i].className != "safe")
    {
        editableDivImgs[i].parentNode.removeChild(editableDivImgs[i])
    }
}

have you tried something like that?

Instead of removing all other elements extract all imgs and concatenate them into a new string:

var regex = /<img.*?>/gmi;
var imgsOnly = '';
var img;
while( ( img = regex.exec(str) ) !== null ) {
    imgsOnly += img;
}
alert( imgsOnly );
