I'd suggest using contenteditable instead of designMode. It works in IE since version 5.5, Firefox 3.0, Safari 1.2 and Opera 9:

<div id="contentContainer">
    <p contenteditable="true">An editable paragraph</p>
    <p>An uneditable paragraph</p>
    <p contenteditable="true">Another editable paragraph</p>
</div>
