Here: I don't know where it is, but I know how to do it. After the text is selected, make it a string var. Check its length by using .length. If it doesn't fit your needs, the user isn't allowed to select the text.

function disableSelection(target){
if (typeof target.onselectstart!="undefined") //IE route
target.onselectstart=function(){return false}
else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect!="undefined") //Firefox route
target.style.MozUserSelect="none"
else //All other route (ie: Opera)
target.onmousedown=function(){return false}
target.style.cursor = "default"
}

//Sample usages
