First, I'm wondering what the status of this control is as related to the Infragistics long-term strategy...
It has not been brought into the AJAX CSOM, and it has not been replaced by a new Aikido control... It is showing signs of age (i.e. not supporting StyleSets, etc).
What are the plans related to this control? Like the ImageButton, it appears to be overdue for an update.
Second, I am trying to use the Insert dropdown to place <span>s that I do not wish to be edited. The span should be selectable (as an object) and deletable, but you shouldn't be able to click inside the span and edit the text.
In IE7, this could be accomplished by adding contentEditable="false" as an attribute of the span... however, this doesn't work in IE8+, FireFox, or Chrome. Has anyone found a way to accomplish this? There are lots of usage scenarios where this is important (adding document footnotes, field identifiers in form templates, etc).
Right now, I have a meta tag that forces IE7 rendering, but that is not a good long-term solution.
Lastly, there is a discrepancy between IE, Firefox, and Chrome when retrieving the TextPlain property. IE converts <p> tags to carriage returns, whereas FireFox and Chrome don't seem to include carriage returns under any circumstances. Is it possible to get the TextPlain property with carriage returns in FireFox and Google?
Thanks!

Have you heard anything about when this control is due for inclusion in the Aikido suite, and integration with the Ajax CSOM?
I was able to reproduce the same behavior with a simple HTML page with an editable Div. Here is the mark up:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html><head><title>test</title></head><body><div align="left" id="div_tw" style="position: relative; width: 100%; font-family: sans-serif; height: 93%; font-size: 10pt; layout: layout-grid: both fixed 12px 12px;" contentEditable="true" hideFocus="hidefocus" _oldE="true" content="false"><span contentEditable="false">Non Editable Text</span><span>Editable Text</span></div></body></html>
This behavior is reproduced with Editable div also as such; you should look in to why this no longer works with IE 8. This behavior is not Specific to WebHTMLEditor. Please look in to the online resources that will give you more details on this.
Hope this helps.
