HTML5 'contenteditable' valid values

Question

What values can I choose for the attribute contenteditable.

Answer 1

There is no "inherit" value. Inherit is implied by omitting the attribute. The attribute has 3 values and 3 states. Values are empty string, true and false. States are true, false and inherit.

In there a inherit value for the contenteditable attribute?

Answer 2

It can contain:

• true
• false
• inherit

Quoting:

The contentEditable DOM attribute, on getting, must return the string "true" if the content attribute is set to the true state, false" if the content attribute is set to the false state, and "inherit" otherwise. On setting, if the new value is case-insensitively equal to the string "inherit" then the content attribute must be removed, if the new value is case-insensitively equal to the string "true" then the content attribute must be set to the string "true", if the new value is case-insensitively equal to the string "false" then the content attribute must be set to the string "false", and otherwise the attribute setter must raise a SYNTAX_ERR exception.
