[RESOLVED] Using a DIV as a Textarea

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 01.2010

I’m assuming the JavaScript section is the right spot to put this question, but maybe I’m wrong.

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to make a DIV into a textarea. I’ve noticed that Facebook does this and so does a lot of Google’s stuff. Just looking to see how they pull that off.

Thanks a lot!

@empireapathyauthorOct 01.2010 — Nevermind. Right after I posted this, I took a second look at it and figured it out. I never noticed the contenteditable attribute.

So for those looking for how to do this, you would type something like this:
[CODE]<div contenteditable="true"></div>[/CODE]

Simple as that.

Check out Rich Text Editors or simpler a Shoutbox

Success!
