??? document.getElementById('ID').style.-moz-user-select = 'text' ???

[Michi]

Hallo,

of course, this doesn't work:
document.getElementById('ID').style.-moz-user-select = 'text';
- but i hope it shows my problem...

Is it possible to set this css option by javascript and how? Is there
any workaround for that?
I'd need this to temporarily avoid text selection.

Many thanks
and best regards,

Michael

Put it in a class and set the element's class.

Totally awesome !!! - the easiest solution was most far away from my
mind.

But there still remains one little problem: css validation.

Many thanks

Pick your poison. Validation is not all that it is made out to be though.

What's wrong with you?
Ian wrote only one sentence. Where do you think, would it be sensefull
to look for that solution?

Will do so in the future.

Thanks for the tip.

Think thats not necessary! - Like i said: just a little problem! -But
why choose the second best option?

Well, it isn't.

- Like i said: just a little problem! -

As I said....

But why choose the second best option?

Do you mean the option where your page doesn't work as intended because
making it work as intended will cause a CSS Validation failure?

Perhaps it does.
Try ...style.MozUserSelect = 'text'

I'd need this to temporarily avoid text selection.

Sounds like something that could annoy a user
