Document.designMode
document.designMode
controls whether the entire document
is editable. Valid values are "on"
and "off"
. According to the
specification, this property is meant to default to "off"
. Firefox follows
this standard. The earlier versions of Chrome and IE default to "inherit"
.
Starting in Chrome 43, the default is "off"
and "inherit"
is
no longer supported. In IE6-10, the value is capitalized.
