I have a page that contains a report tree, a widget and lot of canvas space. The idea is that user drags multiple reports on the canvas and leaves them on the canvas for later use. Sometimes, users are dragging reports from tree into the widget panel. Is there a work around (WF or JavaScript) to lock the widget panel alone on the page?

There are options within the page properties (of the BIP Designer) along the bottom that allow you to lock the page paneling, etc. so people can't manipulate things.

Down in the properties, find the checkboxes for:

- Lock Page
- Prevent Layout Change

Hope one or both accomplishes what you are trying to do.

@CoolGuy – Thank you for your response. I am aware of the Lock Page property. Setting this property will lock all the items on the page. It will disable the option of dragging report on the canvas which, in our case, is an important requirement.

Have you tried making the one panel a banner instead? You can have side banners, which is how we did it.

@GavinL– Thank you for your response. I have tried your suggestion. If I add left banner then the banner appears in all the portal pages. I want this feature only on a specific page.

Does anyone know the property on div and iframe that will disable drag and drop? I should be able to identify the ids of the div/iframe that is hosting the widget and disable it using JavaScript. I have tried few but in vain.

ondragstart="return false;" ondragenter="return false;" ondragover="return false;" ondrop="return false"

If that doesn't work, you can use jquery.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('iframe').on('drop', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
  });
});

@GavinL - I have tried setting the properties (ondragstart="return false;" ondragenter="return false;" ondragover="return false;" ondrop="return false"). It did not work. I din't quite get the jquery. Can you give JavaScript equivalent of this function?

Try putting a dummy function ondragestart, ondragenter, ondragover, and ondrop.

Hand coded, may have wrong syntax
<script>
function eventfired(o) {
   alert(o);
   return false;
}
</script>

<iframe id=myframe ondragstart="eventfired('ondragstart')" ondragenter="eventfired('ondragenter')" ondragover="eventfired('ondragover')" ondrop="eventfired('ondrop')" src="whereever.htm"></iframe>


See what happens, when you drag over. Might be a security thing.

I just did a test on:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/...html5_ev_ondragstart

I replaced their example:
<div class="droptarget" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)"></div>

to 
<div class="droptarget" ondrop="return false" ondragover="allowDrop(event)"></div>


It works in chrome and IE 11.

Also, you asked how to do it in JavaScript..

ondrop="drop(event)"

function drop(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
}

@GavinL - I am using WF iframe. The only events supported are onfocus and onblur. I did add other events (ondragstart, etc) in the JavaScript area. However, the other events did not work during run time. Frowner

There must be some setting controlling the drop function. This property gets set when we lock the page in the BIP design. I think this setting is checked during the drag and drop. I have tried comparing the source code between the locked and unlocked pages. I am unable to figure out.

Not sure I can help you there. That would be one reason I write most of my code, that runs under WF, as my own HTML outside the combines of IBI. It's in a fex, but I use -HTMLFORM a lot in fact. This allows me to use WebFOCUS Synonyms and manipulate how I want it to be and only be limited to HTML5 standards.
