Content Editable Method Not Working Properly [closed]

while working on my website I came across an odd problem for some reason I cant get the contenteditable="true" command to work on my heading with the id “hl” if anyone could help me get it working that would be awesome. I just want the contenteditable command to work so that I can change the HLHLHL text within the website.

<html>

<head>
  <title>ID</title>
</head>

<body>

  <style type="text/css">
    body {
      background-color: lightgray;
      font-size: 20px;
    }
    
    .dropbtn {

Answer

Your problem is the seconf h1 of this pair:

  <h1 id="hl" contenteditable="true">HLHLHL</h1>

  <h1 id="code">NL⠀⠀-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀⠀⠀-⠀⠀⠀-</h1>

It is positioned to overwrite the first header.

You can experiment in your browser’s devtools by making the second of these h1s have display: none – then you will be able to click on the first.

the layout is a bit odd, as if the NL bit with the dashes has been shoved in as an afterthought. A re coding of that whole part might be a good idea, to get everything into a logical order.
