Form controls within contenteditable; Was Re: HTML Froms Guide: Styling forms

[Brett Zamir]

Looks like some very nice and practical work!

Off topic, can anyone add insight into cross-browser usage of form
controls within contenteditable elements? This would be potentially very
handy, e.g., to replicate the functionality of one of my favorite old
desktop apps, StickyBrains which allowed sticky notes, e.g. for todos,
to include user-added checkboxes or other form controls, but I see that
if I add a checkbox in the source code of say http://ckeditor.com/demo ,
the checkbox element does not display a checkbox when clicked.

Thanks,
Brett
