My portal has a top banner with 2 columns, works great.

I just added a bottom banner, where it contains a 1-line text disclaimer. I just found out that the user can write over that line of text, or backspace over it, etc. I can't seem to make that line read-only. What gives?

Yes, that's standard (but abnormal) portal banner behaviour.

We have the Portal title in our top banner and had to resort to an embedded HTML file instead of the standard method.

Hi Francis,
Thanks for you response. I was just about to open a case for this.

I did the embedded HTML on my top banner, so I never had occasion to see what just a line of text would do. Looks like I'll have to do the same for the bottom banner.

Silly, isn't it?

Can you change the CSS for the bottom banner to make it read only ?

It's ludicrous. The text is an HTML textarea object, almost always used for text entry, meaning "editable". Perhaps the people who built the Portal Designer weren't developers and used a GUI tool instead of writing code.

<textarea tabindex="1" class="bi-text-field bip-panel-pane bip-elem-FRAME-ITVL9NL51DC9CIWRB3594 " 
    id="FRAME-ITVL9NL51DC9CIWRB3594" style="border: 0px currentColor; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 398px; height: 47px; 
    position: relative; -ms-overflow-x: auto; -ms-overflow-y: auto;" autocomplete="OFF">ha ha ha ha ha ha</textarea>

Well, it wasn't the end of the world, I got around it easy enough. It just seems a little careless for a product with a price tag as high as this.

It looks like in HTML5 there is a "readonly" attribute for a textarea tag, but there probably isn't a way to specify it in a portal.
