This is usually used for rich text input. While regular form elements like <input type="text"/>
don't provide real rich text editing options, elements with contentEditable
set to true
can.
Most rich text editors (e.g. FCK Editor) available for the web are built using an <iframe/>
with contentEditable
set to true
.
contentEditable=true for elements make them editable. You can write/edit text in those elements as if they are a textarea or a text field.
