Inserting text into a non-form object

(this is my first ever selenium script and first ever stack post, not fully aware how to make this decently :P)

I'm trying to insert a variable (number) into something which doesn't appear to be a form object (instead a body).

When editing using inspect element, I can edit the body's html and it will allow me to post this edited html as a new forum post. So that could be a potential method of inserting the variable into the html.

Youtube example of code working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6VqrMOMBeI

Youtube example of editing body code manually and posting https://youtu.be/YrT88IV-obg:

Website link (if you want to take a look) https://camelotkingdom.com

I've tried doing research on stack to see if I could find other examples of people fixing this issue.

This is the main thread I've found: Modify innerHTML using Selenium

Python Code:

loginpage = 'http://camelotkingdom.com/login'
# login page for the website (login code redacted)

thread = 'http://camelotkingdom.com/threads/count.22/'
# counting thread link

main_browser = webdriver.Chrome("D:\AutoForum\extras\chromedriver.exe")
# chrome driver variable

# below code collects the latest count number (based on post number)
def getlatestnumber():
    main_browser.get(thread)
    # goes to the thread page

    time.sleep(2)
    # waiting for page to fully load

    links = main_browser.find_elements_by_partial_link_text('#')
    for link in links:
        a = link.get_attribute("text")
        a = a.replace('#', '')
        a = int(a)
    # grabs the current count number

    global currentnum
    currentnum = a + 1
    # sets the next count number

    print("[DEBUG] Next count is:",currentnum)

def post_main():
    print("[DEBUG] Number posting:",currentnum)

    comment = "test"
    # text to enter into the post creator iframe

    editable = main_browser.find_element_by_css_selector("iframe")
    editable.click()
    # finding and clicking the post creator iframe

    element = main_browser.execute_script("var ele=arguments[0]; ele.innerHTML = '<p>" + comment +  "</p>';", editable);
    # editing the iframe code to include the variable in a paragraph tag.



 #main_browser.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[4]/form/div[2]/input[2]").click()

Website body code

<body contenteditable="true" dir="LTR" style="overflow-y: hidden; min-height: 99px;"><p><br></p></body>

Full code: view-source:http://camelot.treasuremc.net/threads/count.22/

I expect the code to be posting the variable to the forum thread.

Can you please try this below piece of code.

 iframe = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("iframe")[0]
 driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
 driver.execute_script("document.body.innerHTML = '<p>test</p>'")
