Hello,


I have been working on a custom form, using Froms Designer, and have encountered a problem.


The form is representing a non-conformance and where you have different tabs for different phases, and when you go from one phase to the next, the previous tab (phase) and its fields should be ReadOnly. The fd.field(‘InternalNameCreatedByFD’).readonly(true) does not work, and I have used javascript and JQuery instead to make the fields ReadOnly. That works great for all web-browsers except Internet Explorer. The fields are rich text, and they get editable. It seems that there is some sort of plug-in (rich text editing), or something else that overrides the ReadOnly.

I have tried all the readonly and disable methods with Javascript and JQuery, but it gets overrrided in Internet Explorer.

Have any encountered this problem before?


Any help is appreciated.

Here is the solution.

Insert the code into JS-editor:

if (typeof(RTE_OnFocus) == 'function') {

var RTE_OnFocusOrig = RTE_OnFocus;

RTE_OnFocus = function(strBaseElementID) {

if (!$('#' + strBaseElementID).data('readonly')) {

RTE_OnFocusOrig(strBaseElementID);

} else {

(RTE_GetEditorDocument(strBaseElementID)).body.contentEditable = false;

}

}

}

Enable/Disable Rich Text Fields with:

// Disable

fd.field('Text').control()._el().find('textarea').data('readonly', true);

// Enable

fd.field('Text').control()._el().find('textarea').data('readonly', false);


All thanks to Dmitry Kozlov (Forms Designer Team).

Thanks for posting it here! Just wanted to add formatted code:

Code: Select all

if (typeof(RTE_OnFocus) == 'function') {
     var RTE_OnFocusOrig = RTE_OnFocus;
     RTE_OnFocus = function(strBaseElementID) {
           if (!$('#' + strBaseElementID).data('readonly')) {
                RTE_OnFocusOrig(strBaseElementID);
           } else {
                (RTE_GetEditorDocument(strBaseElementID)).body.contentEditable = false;
           }
     }
}

// Disable
fd.field('Text').control()._el().find('textarea').data('readonly', true);

// Enable
fd.field('Text').control()._el().find('textarea').data('readonly', false);
