There's a CSS property that you can use to disable text selection: user-select. It's available in WebKit (-webkit-user-select) and Firefox (-moz-user- select). I can't tell for Opera (-o-user-select?). In IE, you'd have to listen to an onselectionstart event and cancel it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
