By setting a contenteditable true in a div we can edit the content in the div similar to what we can do in textarea. Inside this div we place our HTML code. To display the output we have used an iframe. we have passed the textContent of editable div as the srcdoc of the iframe, by doing this when we type any HTML statements in the editor the output is seen in the iframe immediately.
