You may be able to use Dynamic Drive's Disable Text Selection Script. Place This in <head>:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
/***********************************************
* Disable Text Selection script- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/
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
//disableSelection(document.body) //Disable text selection on entire body
//disableSelection(document.getElementById("mydiv")) //Disable text selection on element with id="mydiv"
</script>
With the script installed, just call the function disableSelection(target) at the very end of the document with a reference to the element you wish to disable text within. A few examples:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
disableSelection(document.body) //disable text selection on entire body of page
</script>
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var somediv=document.getElementById("mydiv")
disableSelection(somediv) //disable text selection within DIV with id="mydiv"
</script>
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var alltables=document.getElementsByTagName("table")
for (var i=0; i<alltables.length; i++)
disableSelection(alltables[i]) //disable text selection within all tables on the page
</script>
You can still right click on the area. To disable the right click too, you could use DD's No right mouse click script III (no alert):
Place in Body
HTML Code:
<script language=JavaScript>
