In Firefox: when placing the cursor into a table cell the browser will display 4 controls (one in the mid of each cell border). (The content is in editable mode.) How can those be disabled?

Thanks in advance.

• 3 Huh? Which controls? I've never seen those. Can you show a screenshot? – Marcel Korpel Commented Jan 19, 2011 at 15:26
• I assume he's talking about editable content, using contenteditable or designMode. – Tim Down Commented Jan 19, 2011 at 15:34
• You can edit your question once you've realized you forgot to mention something important. I added a note for you about editable mode. – T.J. Crowder Commented Jan 19, 2011 at 15:55

If you mean the controls you get on editable tables, you can disable these with the following mand. It works in recent Firefox, at least:

document.execCommand("enableInlineTableEditing", null, false);
