# CKEditor Samples » Replace Textarea with Inline Editor

This sample is not maintained anymore. Check out its brand new version in CKEditor SDK.

You can also create an inline editor from a `textarea` element. In this case the `textarea` will be replaced by a `div` element with inline editing enabled.

    // "article-body" is the name of a textarea element.
    var editor = CKEDITOR.inline( 'article-body' );

## This is a sample form with some fields
