Disable Focus - jQuery

Is there any way to "disable" focus of an element (textarea, input, contentEditable iframe)? I know the blur function takes away the focus, but the user can just go back and focus it again.

I'm asking this because there will be a point in my site where a sort of a prompt (inside the page) will ask for something. At this moment, I want to block the focus of all textareas and inputs in the page, and allow it again when the user press "Cancel" or "Ok".

Thank you very much!

To prevent the user from focusing an textarea or input element, you can disable it:

$("#yourControlId").prop("disabled", true);

I'm not sure about a contentEditable iFrame
