html5 - What are the consequences of using contentEditable on a textarea? -


as can see, @ least on chrome, contenteditable attribute seems ignored on textarea.

question a: how it's supposed work?

question c: using contenteditable on textarea have consequences other proving you're idiot?

question d: why there no question b? just kidding, had clown breakfast today. :d

textarea { /* not relevant question, demo */    display: block;    width: 500px;  }
<textarea contenteditable="true">contenteditable="true"</textarea>  <textarea contenteditable="false">contenteditable="false"</textarea>  <textarea contenteditable="true" readonly>contenteditable="true" readonly</textarea>  <textarea contenteditable="true" disabled>contenteditable="true" disabled</textarea>

contenteditable has no effect , on textarea, the html5 spec mute subject.

contenteditable=false allows make element not editable inside element contenteditable=true. default behavior inherit value of contenteditable every children of editable element editable.

you can still delete non-editable element not edit it. demonstrated in following snippet.

textarea { /* not relevant question, demo */    display: block;    width: 500px;  }
<div contenteditable="true">      <span>editable span</span>      <span contenteditable="false">this 1 not</span>  </textarea>
