contenteditable not working in IE 10

Question

I am trying to create client side editable table. Here is my code. It works in Chrome, Firefox but not in IE. Is there anything more to do with script for IE?

<script type="text/javascript"       src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

$("td").click(function(){
if($(this).attr("contentEditable") == true){
    $(this).attr("contentEditable","false");
} else {
    $(this).attr("contentEditable","true");
}
})
});
</script>

<p> 
<table id='transitTable' border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" class='display'    width="400">
<tr id='1'>
<td >H1</td>
<td >H2</td>
<td >H3</td>
<td >H4</td></tr>
<tr id='2'>
<td >R1</td>
<td >R1</td>
<td >R1</td>
<td >R1</td></tr>
<tr id='3'>
<td >R2</td>
<td >R2</td>
<td >R2</td>
<td>R2</td></tr></table></p>

Answer 1

There are many elements in IE, which can't have contenteditable set directly. However, you can wrap the whole table into a content editable div.

<div contenteditable="true">
    <table>
       ...
    </table>
</div>

This will make all the cells in the table editable. Though in some browsers (FF) the view will be a bit messy due to the shown editing handles of the table.

Another possibility is to add for example a content editable span or div to each td.

Answer 2

IE is not response contenteditable inside td tag.

You can try:

<td id="my-content" class="editable">
    <div contentEditable="true" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
        ...
    </div>
</td>
