Autolink URL in ContentEditable Iframe

I have a content editable Iframe I want to autolink it, like : My content editable Iframe look like

i tried using regular expression in this Question i asked before. The function that i use in this question works fine, but actually it will replace all links including links in tags (IMG, existing A HREFs).

But i dont want to use regx if i use regx convertion happens when i click any submit or save button.

When a user paste's a url in a content editable Iframe it should automatically convert any link to hyperlink

i tried with this Fiddle too but :( can't get this

Html

<div class="workzone" style="height: 150px;"><iframe id="idContent" width="600" height="280"></iframe></div>
