PS In the example above, the mouseup script is only for testing purposes.
In reality what is needed is that the mousedown event would ALSO need to change the class of the previous element which has its class set to -moz-user-select:text back to -moz-user-select:-moz-none the point is that it seems to be getting very messy for a such a simple task ! Is there an easier approach?
