After change the designMode = on for editing, set designMode = off to back normal browser view mode. The input elements become unusable. They cannot be selected and cannot type anything into it. You could try it on http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ for this bug.

1) checking on View HTML Source 
2) typing <input>
3) checking off View HTML Source 
4) checking on read only

Now you can not type anything in the input element. I have try many other way to resolve the problem. But I found that once you chance the designMode, the input element will be unusable. Thanks for your response.

1) visiting http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
