   I thought his question was pretty clear, and it was answered a few days ago.

I think your question is unrelated.
First, the guy who asked question was interesed in how to make the text:

Second, we were comparing editable iframe solution against editable span 
solution while keeping the text editing functionality.

So what was your question?
