B0b Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hi everyone, I would like to know how, via CSS, we may make text not clickable? For instance, if you click on my message and move your mouse, it will highlight it in blue: that's what I'd like to remove! Thanks!

B0b Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I wish text not to be highlighted when we click and drag our mouse on it (ie. what you do when you wish to copy/paste a block of text).

haku Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It's not really possible to do this, though you can hack it in a few ways: 1) Make the text an image. 2) Cover the text with another invisible element Though why you would want to do this is beyond me. The first method will prevent the text from being copied at all (since it only exists in the image), but the second can be circumvented by someone who knows what they are doing.

ignace Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Is it possible to change the color of the select? I've seen a website do it but couldn't figure out how (:select perhaps or something?) -- found it http://css-tricks.com/overriding-the-default-text-selection-color-with-css/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/205649-css-make-text-not-clickable/#findComment-1076222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
