Hi,

I've got an odd quirk happening on my site, and I'm not sure why. If you click anywhere on the background on the left side below the header, all the text gets selected. It's not a terrible problem but I do find it slightly annoying and I don't know what could be causing it.

The page validates so I wouldn't think it could be an unclosed tag. Browser bug maybe? I'm Firefox 2.0.016 on Mac OS X.

Any suggestions to why this could be happening?

Forgot to mention, said site's URL is www.ridemtl.com

It doesn't happen here either. FF3 on Linux.

But there is another bug though. Look at the navigation.
1024 x 768 Resolution.

Hmm ok so it must be my browser or some plugin. I'll try updating my browser.
And thanks for navbar issue, I can't believe I didn't notice that! (I keep a higher resolution but I know that my friend, who helped me build site, uses 1024x728 and he's never said anything).

It's not the resolution; it's your font:

font-family:Century Gothic;

This is a fairly common font (http://www.3point7designs.com/blog/2008/05/08/8-fonts-you-probably-dont-use-in-css-but-should/) but the acceptance rate is evidently still just

WINDOWS 85.44% / MAC 42.50%

which is fine; you just need to give your users comparable secondary and tertiary fonts, like so:

font-family:'Century Gothic', 'gill sans', verdana, arial, sans-serif;

That should about cover it.

As per the original topic: OS X 10.5, FF3 and Safari 3, no problems with text highlighting.
