by

Here is an example with only CSS and Content Editable:

jsFiddle Example

CSS

span 
{
    border: solid 1px black;
}
div 
{
    max-width: 200px;   
}

HTML

<div>
    <span contenteditable="true">sdfsd</span>
</div>

Important note regarding contenteditable

Making an HTML element contenteditable lets users paste copied HTML elements inside of this element. This may not be ideal for your use case, so keep that in mind when choosing to use it.
