Problem
Both the button and the div have the same 'onclick' code, yet the execCommand only seems to work on the button. Is there any way I can make it work when pressing the div? Here's my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/foreyez/ZzL8y/ ``` <button onclick="document.execCommand('bold',false,null);">Bold</button> <div onclick="document.execCommand('bold',false,null);" style='border:1px solid black;width:50px;'>Bold</div> <div id='input' contenteditable='true'> select some of this text and then hit one of the buttons above </div> ```
