Firefox 3 -has attribute ContentEditable on all HTML elements
Firefox 3 is expanding its rich WYSIWYG editing capabilities by adding support for the contentEditable attribute. Setting contentEditable to “true” allows you to make parts of a document editable. Firefox already supports using designMode to make an entire document editable.
(NOTE: requires Firefox3.a6+ or a browser that supports contentEditable)
The new contentEditable features support the same API as designMode for interacting with the editable element:
* document.execCommand - Executes the given command.
* document.queryCommandEnabled - Determines whether the given command can be executed on the document in its current state.
* document.queryCommandIndeterm - Determines whether the current selection is in an indetermined state.
* document.queryCommandState - Determines whether the given command has been executed on the current selection.
* document.queryCommandValue - Determines the current value of the document, range, or current selection for the given command. Examples
Here is an example of using contentEditable to make a simple rich editor in HTML.
