Make a <div> editable?

I felt sure I once used css to make the content of a <div> editable, but I can't remember where, and now I can't remember how, or even if I just dreamed it because it isn't possible.

Seems like there was a css property like "iseditable:" or something like that, though that guess isn't right.

Anybody have ideas?

When you say you want to edit it, do you mean the way it looks, the content or you want some dynamic effect done?

There's no such thing as an editable div in standard HTML. If you had that before at any time it would have most likely been a JavaScript extension that creates a hidden textarea and shows that when you try to edit the div tag.

Hi,

maybe you mean the contenteditable attribute. This has nothing to do with CSS, though.

Meaning put the cursor in the div and start typing in it.

The only thing I can of which is similar is a <textarea>. but I think you have to put <textarea>'s inside a <form> tag.

Try putting this:


P.S - You don't have to specify the rows or cols, HTML does that automatically, you only add the rows and cols attributes if you want to increase/decrease the size of the text area..
