When I write a div with attribute "contentEditable=true' ,then
I put a "<select><option>...</select>" inside this div,but the select
element just can not be set focus,so I can't use it to chose a
value.It made me feel difficult to design a online medical record
editor.... ,any idea are appreciated.

This is because the select is editable too! If you want to be able to
provide a list of values to embed within editable text, then try setting
contenteditable="false" on the select element.

I have set the attribute contenteditable="false",In firefox the
select element now can be set focus and can not be delete now,that is
not what I want.Other elements like <input> can be deleted even they
have been set the attribute contenteditable="false".
In safari, the element <select> with attribute
contenteditable="false" can get focus and can be deleted,that is the
result I want.

<input contenteditable="false"> doesn't actually seem to have any
effect. (That looks like a bug.) So the reason you can delete the
<input> is because Firefox still thinks it's editable.

This seems to be bug 685445.
