Just disable it. It will make the text non-editable and provide appropriate visual feedback to the user. An important benefit of it is that such behavior is the most expected by the users.

With jQuery:

JavaScript

someElementWrapper = $("#someId");
// ...
someElementWrapper.prop('disabled', true);
// ...
someElementWrapper.prop('disabled', false);
