textarea innerHtml output in asp.net mvc?

Question

This is my textarea :

<div>@Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Article.ArticleContent, new { @class = "my_textarea", id = "textareaInput" })

and script :

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#textareaInput').click(function () {
            var htmlStr = $('#textareaInput').val();
            $('#textareaInput').val($('<div/>').text(htmlStr).html());
        });
    });
</script>

when I write <p>some code</p> output is : <p>some code</p> . But I expect : some code.

How may I do this? Thanks.

If your intention is to clear the tags, then try $('<div/>').html(htmlStr).text():

    $(document).ready(function () {

        $('#textareaInput').change(function () {

            var htmlStr = $('#textareaInput').val();
            $('#textareaInput').val( $.trim( $('<div/>').html(htmlStr).text() ) );

        });
    });
