Immutable Elements not working as intended?

[Alex]

In the demo (http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/editor/immutable-elements) or the preview in the api reference (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/editor#configuration-immutables) the immutable elements (html elements that have the contenteditable="false" attribute) can be deleted.

They can be selected by double clicking and deleted by pressing Delete. Or just selecting everything in the editor and pressing Delete. Tested with Chrome 53 and Internet Explorer 11.

I am confused as the description for Immutable Elements states:

"The Kendo UI Editor widget and its Immutable Elements feature enables you to predefine elements in the content area that cannot be edited by the end user."

I assumed that edited also meant deleted. Is this the intended behaviour?

Hi,

"The Kendo UI Editor widget and its Immutable Elements feature enables you to predefine elements in the content area that cannot be edited by the end user." - This means that HTML content of the element can not be altered. It's like making a DIV element containing complicated HTML content behave like an image (img). The intention here is for the user to be able to delete the entire element, but not parts of it.

Thank you for your feedback that the explanation of the feature is some what misleading. I will notify the documentation team about it.

Thanks, that explains the behaviour!

This defeats the purpose of immutable elements!!!!!

Any way to prevent this ?

Hello Andrey,

 

I am afraid no. Currently there is no way to prevent an element in the content to be deleted.

 

You can submit this as a feedback in the Kendo Feedback portal,, so that it is can be considered by the dev team and the PM of the product.
