[dragonbook]

Hi

Abouth the No select text script
Link

I have testet the script and I can see that text surrounded by the < p > < /p> tag isn't protectet by the script in firefox v 1.0.4.

On this page

I can select all the text where you have use the <p> tag.

Is there any way to fix this

Hope there is an solution

Hi-

All scripts nowadays have lost the ability to disable browser functions with complete success - right-click scripts, etc.

And if anyone wants your text, they can easily view your source code and get it from there, or any other number of places.

Yes thats true, but I'm not using the script to protect my text....

I have at game seletion on my page, and when some of the games are played it is very annoying if the text and picturs in the game are selectet

another thing is that when you try to select the tekst on this page you can do it whith no problem in Firefox !!!!! So it makes me wonder why the text says that the script works in both IE5+ and FF1+

Cause it doesn't worke in FF1+.

You're right, it doesn't work. But, it does work on some things on the page and on a demo I set up here. Try it with your page and see, might do the trick.

I have tried the script on my page, thats how I came to the conclusion that the script don't work in FF..

Well, then I'd try the script without its built in selectivity. It is a short script:

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Disable select-text script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

//form tags to omit in NS6+:
var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"]

omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")

function disableselect(e){
if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1)
return false
}

function reEnable(){
return true
}

if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined")
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
else{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onmouseup=reEnable
}

</script>

Just remove the red part. That is what is enabling paragrapgh selection (due to the 'p' in the word 'input'). If you have no content on your page which requires exceptions, this should do nicely. If you do have content which requires exceptions be more specific, ex:

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Disable select-text script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

//form tags to omit in NS6+:
var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"]

omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")

function disableselect(e){
if (e.target.className.toLowerCase()!=='exempt')
return false
}

function reEnable(){
return true
}

if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined")
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
else{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onmouseup=reEnable
}

</script>

to exempt only elements with the class name 'exempt'.

I don’t know why… but I haven’t seen your last post before now It works perfect now THANKS.

[dragonbook]

to exempt only elements with the class name 'exempt'.

I have tried to use your exempt class name like this

<DIV class="exempt">You can mark</DIV>

But I can't mark this text.

Any idear why

[jscheuer1]

That is only for Mozilla based browsers, it will not work in IE.

Here is a version of the script that omits tags properly in both browsers:

Okay thanks...

Is it possible to use something like <DIV class="exempt">You can mark</DIV> around some text I don't want the script to protect ?

While the protected page is loading it is still possible to mark text...... not at big deal but a little strange. Any way to fix this.
