I want to edit an absolute positioned DIV which is located within a contenteditable

  • 0

I want to edit an absolute positioned DIV which is located within a contenteditable DIV. This works great with IE, Chrome, Safari and Opera, but unfortunately not in Firefox.

This is the code:

<DIV contenteditable="true"
style="border:1px solid #F00; width:220px; height:220px;">
<DIV>
<P>DIV 1, editable</P>
</DIV>
<DIV style="position:absolute; left: 20px; top: 50px;">
<P>DIV 2, not editable in FF !?</P>
</DIV>
</DIV>

I already did a unsuccessful try in http://jsfiddle.net/Jf54f/4/

Is this a bug? Does someone have a workaround? Thank’s in advance 🙂

    Set position:relative on the editable element, so that the positioned div is considered to be inside it.. (most likely a bug in the implementation)
