+1 There are 2 attributes in the HTML tag/DOM that renders the (input) tag's content cannot be modified: readonly and disabled: - Readonly as described in the link in Comment #3 (repeated here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_textarea_readonly.asp) - Disabled as described in this link: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_textarea_disabled.asp
Currently OpenERP web chooses to use disabled, in which user cannot interact with the field. Have OpenERP Web chooses to use readonly fields, user can still get into, select from, and copy from the field - and the field is sent together as part of the form in POST. My guess is that readonly is not supported in all tags as desired and disabled is a more effective way to achieve the purpose (see: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_INPUT_DISABLED.html). Browser implementation also differs. In FF user cannot interact with the disabled field. In Google Chrome, however, you can still get into and copy from the disabled field. Preferably OpenERP Web can honour the separation of readonly and disabled tags as they behave differently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885160 Title: allow copy from protected / read only fields Status in OpenERP Web: Confirmed Bug description: Example Modules, Description - would like to copy the description text using the mouse pointer currently only enterable/updatable fields can be copied.
