HTML Global contenteditable Attribute
Example
<h1 contenteditable="false">This is an uneditable Heading.</h1>
<p contenteditable="true">This is an editable paragraph.</p>
Meaning
The contenteditable attribute allows users to directly edit content in a browser.
A value of false prevents content from being edited by users; true allows editing.
If this attribute is missing or its value is invalid, its value is inherited from its parent element: so the element is editable if its parent is editable.
Note: That although its allowed values include true and false, this attribute is an enumerated one and not a Boolean one.
Standard Syntax
