Why does Editor use TextArea instead of contenteditable element?

[Zohar]

I am trying to use the kendo-editor angular directive in my app and am having problems because the directive only works on text areas.

More specifically I need to integrate it with another directive that only works on contenteditable elements.  Is there a way to get kendo-editor to work in a contenteditable div?

Hello Zohar,

The inline editing mode of the editor uses a contentEditable div. Both modes have their uses -- the regular mode provides isolation from the surrounding page via an contentEditable iframe, while the inline editing provides a good user experience for editing complete pages.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response. I cant seem to find a way to implement inline editing with the kendo angular directive.. Placing the directive on a div has no effect. IE the editor does not show up.

Is there a way to use the angular directive inline?

Thanks

Hello Zohar,

Here is a Dojo snippet that shows the inline editor instantiated via a AngularJS directive.
