Hi Nick,

Thanks for your response. Apologies for not giving more detail in my original post but basically what I need is to put an Edit/Update button on the page so that the text in the whizzywig cannot be altered until the user clicks on the Edit button.

Can this be done?

Mark

well, the whole point of whizzywig is so your website users can write their own content.

If you must have read only, then put your whizzywig textarea on a page where only you can access, write the content
and have it post to a page your users see, it will post as a text input type and you can directly echo the content onto the page
you need.  It will be read-only.

I hope this answers your question.  If I'm completely off base, then give me an example of what you mean, a link to the site you are working on, and the goals for the whizzywig application on your site.

Is it possible to make the whizzywig read only?
