Disabling textarea in newthread!

[Super Jinni]

Hi,
I need to disable textarea when starting a new thread and set a condition to enable it.

I've added

disabled="disabled"

to the next code in editor_toolbar_on template.
so the original code which is:

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="60" style="display:block; width:$stylevar[messagewidth]; height:{$editor_height}px" tabindex="1" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]">$newpost[message]</textarea>

became like this:

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="60" style="display:block; width:$stylevar[messagewidth]; height:{$editor_height}px" tabindex="1" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" disabled="disabled">$newpost[message]</textarea>

but that does not seem to be working at all. and the textarea still not disabled.

when I remove

id="{$editorid}_textarea"

form the code above the textarea gets disabled but the problem is that editor tools get disabled too.

is there anyway so that i can disable the textarea without disabling editor tools?
or is there anyway to change the id value of newthread textarea?


thanks
