Useless but interesting Span Attribute 1

[cian]

Just thought I would post this attribute which I just came across.
Simply add
contenteditable="true"

into a span tag and it allows the visitor to mess with the editing of your page.
Its totally useless of course but quite an interesting attribute i think.

Have mane people come across it before?

Enjoy

We haved used this attribute along with a whole host of others to develop CMS systems for some of our clients - the system is IE specific but that is no problem when you are developing for the client use as you can confirm the browser they will use with them. If you are interested in this sort of thing than have a look at

its a good introduction to the concepts used in content editable web pages.

hope this is of interest
