Why doesn't the document.execCommand work when I click on a div?

Question

Both the button and the div have the same \'onclick\' code, yet the execCommand only seems to work on the button. Is there any way I can make it work when pressing the div?<

This is not the complete answer but these links might help you:-

1> set execcommand just for a div

2> select all text in contenteditable div when it focus/click
