I have a page where the client is "disabled" using the readonly property.  I have a checkbox which when checked sets readonly = false in the vb code behind file in the checked changed property for the checkbox.

 

This works - the editor becomes editable and I can type stuff in.  The problem comes when I try to change the font color or background color - the buttons don't appear to work.  The other buttons (such as bold, italics, etc) work and format the typed text accordingly but not the font and background color.

 

This is only an issue if the editor is readonly = true when the page is loaded.  If the editor is not readonly when the editor is loaded, then this issue does not happen.

 

Any ideas?  Thanks
