Paul, you might try setting the unselectable=yes attribute in IE, or the -moz-user-select css property in Firefox.

Subject: Re: [jQuery] Draggables preventing text select in IE Hi there! Since I'm writing the new draggables, I looked up many many solutions around that problem. It's a tough problem to fix text selection in a cross-browser matter, because you have strange side effects. For example, if you do ondragstart/onselectstart in IE, you select during drag if you do not return false in mousedown/mousemove. But then, if you return false in IE in these events, you cannot drag *out* of the browser window and back anymore. It's a bit hard to explain, but if it has some need to you, I can do a demo. -Paul _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
