Do it one line with vanilla js

document.querySelectorAll("[contenteditable=true]").forEach(el => el.setAttribute("contentEditable", false))

Since you have 5 elements with contenteditable, try giving them IDs to simplify access.

The following code deactivates the 5 contentediable elements:

var editable_elements = document.querySelectorAll("[contenteditable=true]");
editable_elements[0].setAttribute("contenteditable", false);
editable_elements[1].setAttribute("contenteditable", false);
editable_elements[2].setAttribute("contenteditable", false);
editable_elements[3].setAttribute("contenteditable", false);
editable_elements[4].setAttribute("contenteditable", false);

Demo

Or you can you a loop

var editable_elements = document.querySelectorAll("[contenteditable=true]");
for(var i=0; i<editable_elements.length; i++)
    editable_elements[i].setAttribute("contenteditable", false);

Even though you not tagged this question as jquery, you already asked if there is a way to do it. and my way to do it is using jquery.

Here's the FIDDLE

$('div').blur(function () {
    $(this).attr('contenteditable', false);
});

or after saving the div content to db. use this code below to edit all div with contenteditable attribute true to false.

Heres' the FIDDLE

$('div[contenteditable="true"]').attr('contenteditable', false);

To do it on each elements with "contenteditable=true" you can simple try this:

var editableElements = document.querySelectorAll("[contenteditable=true]");

for (var i = 0; i < editableElements.length; ++i) {
    editableElements[i].setAttribute("contentEditable", false);
}

Ming,

You can use a Submit button at the end of your Div. So when the user is done with editing he can submit the form, you can do a post to save this text in database and also the button will make the content non-editable. Here I added a button to your code and a bit of jQuery.

HTML

 <div id="box" style="padding-left: 45px; background: url(2.png);">
<div class="line-division1" style="margin-top: 100px; background-color: #003663;">        </div>
<div id="sub-title" contenteditable="true"><span>YOU'RE IN FOR A</span></div>
<div id="title" contenteditable="true">Wild <font color="#90a6b9">Ride</font></div>
<div class="line-division1" style="margin-top: 20px; background-color: #003663;"></div>
<div class="date1" contenteditable="true">THIS JANUARY 21ST 2014</div>
<div class="date1" contenteditable="true">1337 ACCELERATOR, KL</div>
<div class="line-division1" style="width: 150px; height:22px; float: left; background-  color: #003663; margin-top: 50px;"></div>
<div class="line-division1" style="width: 150px; height:22px; float: right; background-color: #003663; margin-top: 50px; margin-right: 50px;"></div>
<div class="date1" style="font-size: 80px; width: 500px;" contenteditable="true">JOIN US</div>
</br>
<div class="date1" style="font-size: 38px; margin-top: 20px;">FOR A RIDE OF YOUR LIFE TIME</div>
<button text="Submit">Submit</button>

jQuery (just include a jquery file to your code)

$(function(){
    $('button').click(function(){
        $('div').attr('contenteditable', 'false');
    });
});

Thats it !!!

This work in all browser

 var arr=document.getElementsByTagName("div");
    for(var i=0;i<document.getElementsByTagName("div").length;i++)
  document.getElementsByTagName("div")[i].removeAttribute("contenteditable");

Working Demonstration

This will work in modern browser(but too much versatile)

for(var i=0;i<document.querySelectorAll("div").length;i++)
document.querySelectorAll("div")[i].removeAttribute("contenteditable");

Working Demonstration
