How to disable text selection

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 04.2007

Hi Folks,

I have a HTML page (Header) where I have a text as ” Page 1 0f 5″. When I select the text the whole header is getting selected.

I had attached the html page so that you can have a clear idea.

When I click on the header and drag , the header moves to left and right and the the whole header gets selected…. But When I comment the div layer “page_no” then its ok..

Any ways to avoid this….

Thanks,

Suresh.H.V.

@felgallJan 05.2007 — document.onselectstart=new Function('return false');

works with IE5+, Netscape 6+, Opera 8+, Firefox and probably others that I haven't tested. Provided that Javascript is enabled and your visitor doesn't apply a user javascript to cancel it out.

Success!
