Disable Text Selection

12 New Member
Hi Friend.
I have used a frame inside the html page where in I am displaying the content of other html page.. I want to disable text selection of the content inside the frame..
Can you please show me how to implement "disable text selection" script on such a page.

Thanx and Regards,
Sourabh

Display a transparent (opacity:0) div over the content.

If you're trying to protect the content with that, I'm afraid it is easily circumvented.

You could also use a function to return false. Google 'disable text selection' for examples. Same thing acoder said applies, though: it won't protect content and is easily circumvented.

hey all i have a page with a table, and when the user doubleclicks a row in it, a window is opened. The problem is, if he doubleclicked a text in the row, it's becoming selected. what i want is to disable the selection upon doubleclicking, but no the selection at all (so that the user can still just use the mouse to select some text in the table). is there a javascript command that can disable the selection currently highlighted? thanks

Is there any way to disable text selection in a web page (or at least render it invisible to the user)? If there is a way to control how selected text and its background are rendered, then the desired effect could be achieved by setting these parameters to match those of regular text. In this way, even if text was selected, the user would not see that it was. Thanks!

I want to append text to the end of a text box. If the cursor is currently at the end I just want to append it and have the normal scrolling take place if needed. However, if the selection isn't at the end of the text box I want to append the text but WITHOUT changing the selection or scrolling the text. I can easily tell if the selection is at the end or not. However, I haven't found away to prevent the scrolling when I AppendText.

It seems that I can only get the buttons to disable if I click off the text of the items in the listview but still within about 10-20 pixels of...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
