disable edit html elements in design view

[gerco Koks]

hi,

I need to disable the functionality to edit html elements in desing modus. Is there a way to do that.
for example.

I have added a textarea to the editor, users can now enter text into the textarea by double clicking it and edit the value.
other example.

I have added a radio button to the editor. Users can now alter the selected state.

I want to disable this behaviour.

thx

Hi Gerco,

You can make all elements in IE unselectable by applying the unselectable="on" attribute to them:

<input style="width: 100px; height: 22px;" type="text" unselectable="on" />
<input type="radio" value="on" unselectable="on"  />

Best regards,

thx for the quick reply but this is not a solution for us.
We use the editor as a formbuilder for our customers. We dont want to enable the modification of the default value (textarea, input field) or seleted state (radio buttons) in the editors desing view. But when the form, designed in the editor is beeing publiched on a webpage, respondents must be able to do so.

I hope i made myself clear.

thx for the help.

Hello gerco Koks,

All you need to do is to set unselectable="on" to all input elements that you want to make disabled in Design mode of RadEditor. After that when submitting the content you can strip the unselectable attributes in the OnClientSubmit Client-side event of the control and they will become editable when publiched on a webpage.

Sincerely yours,
