    I have a contenteditable div on a page. I know there are a few in-built functions (execCommand()) which i can use but i need to be able to insert H5 tags in the contenteditable. So my question is how do i create a custom execCommand to do the H5 for my page. Or any other alternative?

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking, but have you tried this?
    yourObj.execCommand('formatblock', false, '<h5>')

    Alrite, i found solution to this.

    Just one little javascript function was enough to do it.

    getElementsByTagName()
    setAttribute()

    thanks anyway torunforever
