Make items unselectable?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 12.2006

I’m trying to make a game with javascript where you shoot things by clicking the mouse, but every time you click twice fast, many of the images get highlighted on the page. Is there any way to make objects unselectable?It is kinda ruining the game.

Caveat: I haven't tested whether this will prevent any other events from firing.

@phpnoviceMar 12.2006 — OK, how about this?

ondblclick="this.blur(); return false;"
