Normally, the "readOnly" flag is automatically set during startup whenever a TW document is viewed via http: protocol. This automatic handling can be overridden by setting the <<option chkHttpReadOnly>> checkbox to false, so that the document will be editable, even over http. You want to do the opposite... you want to ensure that the document is NOT editable, regardless of how (or by whome) it is being viewed. Unlike the normal use-case above, there is no <<option chkSomething>> you can set to do this. Instead, you need to force the TWCore's internal global 'readOnly' flag to be set to true by creating a tiddler (e.g. [[SetReadOnly]]), tagged with systemConfig, containing this line: window.readOnly=true; When you save-and-reload the document, the [[SetReadOnly]] tiddler will be invoked (because of the systemConfig tag) and the readOnly flag will be set. However, this makes the document completely non- editable for *everyone*, even *you*! To work around this, you can enhance the above line of code like this: window.readOnly==(config.options.txtUserName!="MyName"); replacing "MyName" with *your* TW username (the one you set via <<option txtUserName>> in the sidebar options panel). Instead of always setting the readOnly flag to true for everyone, the above code will set the readOnly flag *false* if the current username matches, and *true* for everyone else. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios ---- WAS THIS ANSWER HELPFUL?
