I'm wondering if there is way to prevent a JCE Editor user from deleting specific bits of html.

Let's say that every Article has this div: <div class"something"> the user puts content here </div>

Right now the user can backspace over that opening div tag when working visually and not even be aware they removed the div tag. Doing so removes all the formatting provided by the "something" class.

I only want the user to be able to edit the content between the div tags but not edit or delete the div tags.

Any suggestions?

You can use the "mceNonEditable" and "mceEditable" classes to make elements non-editable and editable respectively. So in your instance, you might use: 

<div class="something mceNonEditable">
    <div class="mceEditable">
        <!-- User Content -->
    </div>
</div>

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Ensure that the NonEditable option is checked in Editor Profiles -> Features & Layout -> Additional Features

The mceNonEditable and mceEditable class names can be changed in Editor Profiles -> Plugin Parameters -> NonEditable, to something more suitable tou your needs if required.
