document.execCommand("formatBlock", false, "H1") is splitting the editable span. I have the following html... 


<span  style="border: 2px solid rgb(180, 199, 223); padding: 0px;" contentEditable="true">

 <div>
  <span>
   Try this.
   Try this.

  </span>
 </div>

 <div>Tathagata Roy </div>

</span>


Now I selected "Roy" and used document.execCommand("formatBlock", false, "H1") and the HTML becomes like following 

<span style="border: 2px solid rgb(180, 199, 223); padding: 0px;" contenteditable="true">
 <div>
  <span>
   Try this.
   Try this.
  </span>
 </div>
</span>
<h1>
<span style="border: 2px solid rgb(180, 199, 223); padding: 0px;" contenteditable="true">
 <div>
  Tathagata Roy 
 </div>
</span>
</h1>
<span style="border: 2px solid rgb(180, 199, 223); padding: 0px;" contenteditable="true">

</span>
</span>


So it's splitting into three editable spans. But other browsers like chrome/IE are giving output like following

<div>
  <span>
   Try this.
   Try this.
  </span>
 </div>

 <h1>Tathagata Roy</h1>


So it's replacing it's enclosing div and replacing it by

. This is what I expected.

You would probably get an answer in another forum, maybe try one of the Mozillazine forums if it is an enquiry about coding and use of a website. Possibly try : http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25

In the unlikely event that it is due to a fault with Firefox then a bug will need to be filed.
