How to simply enable and disable the text in the editor

Hello - Newbie question.

Can anyone show how you can just simply disable the text (i.e. make it read only) and enable the text in the text area ? I've tried looking in various guides (e.g. Newbie) but couldn't see anything - it's a pretty basic request so I hope this is possible.

Thanks

Re: How to simply enable and disable the text in the editor

One way would be to have another copy of the text in a plain div and switch back and forth between the div and xinha to simulate read-only / editing modes a bit like InPlaceEditors do in Scriptaculous.

Be careful though. you need to wait for Xinha to finish loading before hiding it or you won't be able to type in it afterward

Hope this helps
