How to make a link button contenteditable
-1
On my website, I have a link using role=button with Bootstrap's btn btn-primary. When I try to assign the contenteditable attribute to the button, it does not work as expected and does not allow me to edit it.
Things I have tried :
Disable dragging for link button
Make link button focused after having
contenteditable set.Remove all links from the button
javascript html

Try this:
<button id="editBtn" type="button">Click to edit me</button>
JQuery:
$('#editBtn').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).attr('contenteditable','true');
//$(this).focus();
return;
});
$('#editBtn').on('focus', function(e){
console.log("blurred...");
$(this).attr('contenteditable','false');
});
JS:
document.getElementsById("editBtn").contentEditable = "true";
or
document.getElementsById("editBtn").setAttribute("contenteditable", "true");

Not what I was looking for but i will mark it as correct anyway. What I actually meant was that the cotenteditable tag has weird selections. Check my profile for a new question containing more details.
