Have you tried disabling the textbox? I'm not sure if that would kill the response to the click event but it's worth a try.

This is a box they click into when they are done approving an item, I don't want to allow users to type additional text.
How can I setup so users CANNOT enter their own text, they can only save the SYSTEM generated TEXT that happens after they click ?
Other option would be to change from a textbox to an "Approved" checkbox and then write logged in user/today'sDate to database.
--------------------------
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.LastModifiedBy, new { @onclick = "toggle()" })
--------------------------
<script>
function toggle() {
var box = document.getElementById("L
if (box.value === "") {
box.value = new Date();
}
else {
box.value = "";
}
}
</script>
