           Summary: ContentEditable is not available on Mobile WebKit
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: fredck at fredck.com

A simple contenteditable enabled page like the following doesn't work on WebKit Mobile:

---
<html>
<head>
    <title>Simple Editable Page</title>
</head>
<body contenteditable="true">
    <p>This is some text with a <a href="http://google.com/">link</a>, which should not be active but editable.</p>
</body>
</html>
---

I'm testing this on an iPad with iOS 4.2.1 and Safari.

Current Results
===============
The page opens like a normal page, but it's not possible to place the caret on it and start typing. It just behaves like a normal page.

Expected Results
================
The user should be able to tip on the text. The caret should start blinking at the tip position and the virtual keyboard should appear, so the user can start typing.

This issues makes it impossible to develop browser based rich text editors, like CKEditor, targeted to WebKit based mobile devices.
