Thanks for the tip. I had originally posted in the non UI JQuery group
and someone showed me how to constrain the dragging to just the header/
top of a portlet. I then realized I was also calling $
(".column").disableSelection(); so once I removed that I could then
select text with the mouse. (I copied to code from jQuery's site and
didn't see the disableSelection() part. )http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/94e281b18c8c83b7 On May 20, 3:11 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > you can use the cancel: option and put your text in the item you want > to cancel > > cancel: 'span', > > You can then highlight the text inside the span that's inside the > sortable without triggering > the sortable behavior. > > On May 20, 9:55 am, slenzi <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I'm using JQuery Portlets and I've noticed that you can't use the > > mouse to highlight any text within a portlet.
