Solution 1

Easy.

Enter this into the (browser's javascript) console when you have the gmail compose window open:

JavaScript

document.getElementById(':ma').innerHTML

You can find this out for yourself by right-clicking the area and selecting Inspect Element. That shows you the html for the element. You just have to use the relevant javascript to manipulate it.

When we change compose window to Old version with rich text then it converts DIV to iframe and i need text inside that iframe.

Thanks
