Is there any way to disable text selection in a web page (or at

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!

What you're asking is definitively not recommendable. It's clearly goes
against standard basic browser functionality. Whatever you do with
javascript or CSS can be overriden by the user.
FWIW, in Windows XP, only the user can set the background color (and
text color) of selected text:
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/Appearance tab/Advanced
button/Item:/Selected Items and here
Item: ... color 1
Font: ... color
