Selection over editable DIVs

Question

I'm creating a page with some content editable divs, and I want to select content from multiple divs. It should ignore content between divs.

In my example bellow, I create some divs with headers, the headers should be ignored in the selection.

body {
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}
div {
    -webkit-touch-callout: text;
    -webkit-user-select: text;
    -khtml-user-select: text;
    -moz-user-select: text;
    -ms-user-select: text;
    user-select: text;
}

<h1>Text 1</h1>
<div contenteditable="true">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Is that possible?

seems to work for my, is it a certain browser its not working for? — atmd, Jan 13 '15 at 11:30
It's working if you start the selection outside the example iframe. If you start the selection from my created divs, will not work. — Victor, Jan 13 '15 at 11:34

Set cursor default to H1

body {
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}
div {
    -webkit-touch-callout: text;
    -webkit-user-select: text;
    -khtml-user-select: text;
    -moz-user-select: text;
    -ms-user-select: text;
    user-select: text;
}

h1{
    cursor: default;
}

<h1>Text 1</h1>
