Is there a way to capture JavaScript events for when a contenteditable element begins and ends editing?

I'm not sure exactly here, but aren't you after focus and blur? I'm not sure what else "begins and ends editing" could be translated to that has a different timing than those, unless you mean an event for every keystroke, etc.

As Nick said, focus and blur will work, and in all major browsers. IE also has a number of related events (although none of these are implemented in other browsers as far as I know): activate, deactivate, beforeactivate, beforedeactivate and beforeeditfocus
