you can remove the ng-blur and you will have to add this directive:
<span contenteditable ng-model="myModel"></span>
Here is the directive taken from the documentation:
.directive('contenteditable', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A', // only activate on element attribute
require: '?ngModel', // get a hold of NgModelController
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
if(!ngModel) return; // do nothing if no ng-model
// Specify how UI should be updated
ngModel.$render = function() {
element.html(ngModel.$viewValue || '');
};
// Listen for change events to enable binding
element.on('blur keyup change', function() {
scope.$apply(read);
});
read(); // initialize
// Write data to the model
function read() {
var html = element.html();
// When we clear the content editable the browser leaves a <br> behind
// If strip-br attribute is provided then we strip this out
if( attrs.stripBr && html == '<br>' ) {
html = '';
}
ngModel.$setViewValue(html);
}
}
}
});
