Global attribute contenteditable

Informs that the element is available for editing by the user – you can delete text and enter a new one. Standard commands like undo, paste text from the buffer, etc. also work. Compatible with all browsers. Attribute contenteditable has a fixed set of values, it can be an empty string, true or false. Empty string or true indicate that the element is editable.

Meaning false indicates that the element is not editable. There is also a third state — inherit, this is the attribute’s default value and means that the value is inherited from the parent element. All descendants of this element also become editable if the attribute contenteditable they obviously don’t have it installed in false.

contenteditable=”true | false”

true Enables editing mode.
false Prevents editing an element.
inherit An element is editable if its immediate parent is editable.

Instead of true it is acceptable to specify an empty value (contenteditable=””) or not write it at all (contenteditable).
