disable img selection

[Michael Chase Brazell]

Hi, I'm using:

document.onselectstart = new Function("return false");

to disable selection of content on my page. This works fine, except
that images are still selectable.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Why are you doing that?

Seems like you are trying to "protect" something from being copied. If so
your quest is doomed to failure.

Nope, not trying to do that... I'm writing a WebGL app and I'm using
images for labels, and it affects mouse inspection when the image
becomes highlighted.

CSS3 offers a property user-select. Mozilla browsers implement this as
-moz-user-select: text[1]. Other implementations provide similar
functionality, e.g. -webkit-user-select, etc.

For IE, the expando unselectable="on"[2].

I've seen this question a few times. Should it be added to the FAQ?

Thanks for the info, -webkit-user-select kept the image from being
highlighted with Chrome.
