Description

Setting contenteditable attr not working in IE7 and quirks mode.

http://jsfiddle.net/dtxhe/3

Click on button to create a div with span contenteditable="false". Double clicking the text should set span contenteditable="true".

This is working in FF, Chrome, IE8, but not IE7 or quirks mode.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report and providing a test case!

After looking into this I noticed that this is just a simple oversight. If the attribute has the correct casing, which is contentEditable, as in this test case it works in IE7 too.
