Disable Editor and change the background color

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to disable the editor and change it's background color(the area where you type).

I already found one way on google, but it doesn't work with firefox. In firefox you can still type.

Here is the function I am using.

var toolbarButtonClone = null;
        var toolBarSpecialComboClone = null;
        function toggleEnabled(id, enabled){
            var toggleElement = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(id);
            toggleElement.EditorDocument.body.disabled = !enabled;
            if(enabled)
            {
                toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCK.ToolbarSet.Enable();
             toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarButton.prototype.RefreshState = toolbarButtonClone;
             toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarSpecialCombo.prototype.RefreshState = toolBarSpecialComboClone;
            }
            else
            {
                toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCK.ToolbarSet.Disable();            
                toolbarButtonClone = toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarButton.prototype.RefreshState;
             toolBarSpecialComboClone = toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarSpecialCombo.prototype.RefreshState;
             toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarButton.prototype.RefreshState = function(){return false;};
             toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarSpecialCombo.prototype.RefreshState = function(){return false;};
             
         }
               
         toggleElement.EditorWindow.parent.FCK.ToolbarSet.RefreshModeState();   
                           
        }

This code functions fine in IE, but not firefox.
One thing I would also like to add when disabling this editor is to change the background color so user can notice that they can't type.

I am using this editor with ASP.NET

Re: Disable Editor and change the background color

Hi Omego2K,

Which version of IE, the below code works?
I have IE7 and this code still allows to edit in the editor.

Thanks.

Re: Disable Editor and change the background color

After putting a timer, it works good now:

function timmer(){
def = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('elm2');
def.EditorWindow.parent.FCK.ToolbarSet.Disable();
def.EditorDocument.body.disabled = true;

def.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarButton.prototype.RefreshState = function(){return false;};
def.EditorWindow.parent.FCKToolbarSpecialCombo.prototype.RefreshState = function(){return false;};

}

setTimeout('timmer()',500);
