Hello,

I'd like to know if the following script (or something similar) can be modified to use "on" and "off" radio buttons to toggle disableselect... preferably loading the page with the "on" button selected.

Thanks for any help:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

<script>
function disableselect(){
return false
}
function reEnable(){
return true
}
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</script>

what exactly does it do?


It prevents the highlighting/selection of content, such as text.

Strictly IE.

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function toggle_selectable(bWhich, bClear) {
document.onselectstart.isEnabled = bWhich;
if (bClear) document.selection.empty();
}

document.onselectstart = function() {
return document.onselectstart.isEnabled;
}

document.onselectstart.isEnabled = false;

</script>
</head>
<body>
<hr />
<form>
<input name="toggle_hilite" type="radio"
onclick="toggle_selectable(true)" />content selectable
<input name="toggle_hilite" type="radio" checked="checked"
onclick="toggle_selectable(false, true)" />content unselectable
</form>
<hr />
<h1>This is header 1</h1>
<h2>This is header 2</h2>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
