We have a provision in our application that the author can decide whether his/her comments can be edited by others or not by checking a box in the page. In this case it should be disabled for all including him. But the author can edit the comment, by unchecking the box again.

 

Could you tell me why it cannot be done from client side?

 

One alternative I can think of is, when checking the box, change the control to Preview mode, so that it becomes readonly and also no operation can be performed in the control. But this will be the last option. If this is the only option, what is the function to call to change to Preview mode from client side.

 

Thanks,

Kaja
