atitthaker Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi @ll, I am having an application, in this application I want to use a <DIV> as a dialog and so I am putting it over my other form elements and I want to make background elements as unselectable... Way I am going for is: I am putting a div with the window size on my form elements and on that <div> I am rendering my dialog <div>. My in between <DIV> is with the property UNSELECTABLE="yes", So as it's over my other form elements, belower elements are unselectable. This works fine for my machine(running IE 7) but the same is not working for my collegues (running IE 6). So this attribute, "UNSELECTABLE" is available for IE 7 only or so? If so how can I achieve the same functionality with browser compatibility, or atleast it runs on most versions of Internext Explorer? I have created <DIV> with following properties... <DIV ID="divDisInterface" UNSELECTABLE="ON" STYLE="position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:1000px; height:1000px; background:green; display='none';z-index=2; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha( Opacity=5, FinishOpacity=5, Style=1, StartX=0, FinishX=10, StartY=0, FinishY=10)"> This is my text </DIV> Initially my div is not visible but when the dialog <DIV> is visible, I am also setting above div's display style to "" and it is visible. But Unselectable attribute is not working with IE 6. Thanks... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40125-unselectable/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i'm sure UNSELECTABLE works in 5.5 so it stands to reason it will work in 6 but i don't think it works in firefox!

atitthaker Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thanks for reply... If you have got my point, Do you know any other way to implement the same thing??? I want to make a <div> which acts as a dialog and it won't allow you to select anything on the page beneath it... So how can I do that.

ToonMariner Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 just use hidden inputs and some javascript to transfer the user inputted data to the relevant fields. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40125-unselectable/#findComment-197736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can simply override onselectstart... make just in IE, though.
