My understanding is that it would not be possible in Netscape. I
also understand (although I am not certain) that the IE-based approaches
that you have seen often use Microsoft's DHTML Editing Component. IIRC, jeff
had experimented with this for the revamped Evolt site, and could probably
give you some first-hand insight. Here's Microsoft's info on the DHTML
Editing Component (as always, watch the wrap):
