The editing capabilities of the contentEditable toolbar uses the MSHTML language that has been built-in to Explorer browsers since version 4. The MSHTML language behind it was originally developed by Microsoft for HotMail.com users with authoring HTML email as it's only aim.

The toolbar uses the MSHTML version in Explorer 5.5+/Win browsers. Pages edited with the toolbar can be viewed by any browser because the HTML code produced by editing resembles HTML code produced by Microsoft's FrontPage web editor.

Editable areas are enclosed within DIV or SPAN tags containing an editblock attribute. An entire page may be enclosed for full page editing, or only certain sections of the page. When the editor is turned on the element is outlined with a dashed line. An external javascript tag in the head of the page controls the login prompt for logging in from the page.

An editable page contains an external javascript with a function that watches the user's keystrokes. Whenever the ESC key is tapped 3 times the login function is activated. Login will load the toolbar to the right of the editable page.

Entering the username "admin" and the admin password into the login prompt will open an admin page where users may be added, deteted or edited.

Multiple users may be assigned editing privileges for only particular pages or for entire folder trees based on the page's URL. Likewise, any user can be given the privilege to edit all editable pages within the domain. You can also determine by user which functions appear on the toolbar.
