Yeah, this is ancient... but... Did you ever get a solution to this: A way to turn off the default ASV text highlighting functionality?
I, unfortunately, need to support a customer using ASV with an old IE browser as they cannot go to IE9 any time soon. I need to disable the ASV autoselection and highlighting of text on click-drag region definition. I've defined my own click events and am calling the various functions after my own handler: evt.stopPropagation(); // don't propagate this event any further to other handlers evt.preventDefault(); // do not execute any default handling for this event either return false; // should also stop any additional processing of this event downstream in my mouse-up, mouse-down, and mouse-move handlers. But that doesn't seem to stop the default text-selection ASV handler from doing its thing. GRrrrr.. Covering up all text with other art really isn't an option.. this should be disableable somehow. --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "ludiom" <ludiom@...> wrote: > > The reason why I need this to work on <tspan> level is the very > specific tool I am implementing that does a lot of text manipulations > including breaking tspans into more tspans at any desired letter > position. > I have also tried "evt.preventDefault()" which does not seem to do > much -- I must be missing something or doing wrong... any clue? > -peter > > --- In svg-developers@y..., "Michael Bierman" <mbier@y...> wrote: > > If they are all part of the same block, then why would the author > only want > > to select one of them?
