<textarea contenteditable>?

[stranger123]

Hi,

I want <textarea contenteditable>Something</textarea> but it wasn't correct.
I know we can do <DIV contenteditable>, but don't know what will happen if the browser not support "contenteditable".
Any idea?

Content within textarea is editable by default, so doing:

<textarea name="myTextArea">Edit Me!</textarea>

will work in all browsers.

Vragabond,
Thank you.
Perhaps I didn't explain clearly.

If right click a picture in a website and select "copy", then right click in <DIV contenteditable> Somehting </DIV>, we can select "paste" and paste the picture onto <DIV contenteditable> Somehting </DIV>. However, we cannot paste the picture onto <textarea contenteditable> Something </textarea> in such a way.
So, "contenteditable" in a DIV means something more than "editable" in a textarea?

The clue is in the name of the element: <textarea>. Pictures aren't text.

But 1000 words == a picture ;-)

Do you think we can let <DIV contenteditable> change to <textarea> when the browsew not regnize "contenteditable" in <DIV>?

Not in HTML. You could probably do the test in JS (to swap the div with a textarea using the replaceChild method).
