Adam; we have a DNN Newsletter module that is available to users to type text into and add photos. We've set the maxCharLength property to 2000 and when a user has entered the maxChars allowed and then adds a photo, we get the validation message [maxCharLength].

Our scenario is we need to keep the IEClientScriptMode = HTC, always only in Preview mode. We have also set ReadOnly to true and Enabled property to false. 

We just want to use the cute-editor for read only mode with the preview as the display mode, but we do not want the editor to perform the validation for us on the char count, we want to handle that ourself. 

How can we do this?
