Both Mozilla (Firefox) and IE have an API for something called DesignMode in Javascript. Without going into too much detail here most of the applications shown within the link take advantage of this built in functionality.

I used to have a link for the full details but unfortunately I cannot find it... If you want to know more I would suggest you use the Google search engine... or should I just say Google for it :P
