Text selection disable & Opera Browser

While the scipt works fine on all browsers except Opera Browser. Input fields and drop down menu becomes unclickable, how to fix it?

My example page:

http://www.aymavisi.org/makale/Evlil...20Gibran).html

Head:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

function disableSelection(target){

if (typeof target.onselectstart!="undefined") //IE route

        target.onselectstart=function(){return false}

else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect!="undefined") //Firefox route

        target.style.MozUserSelect="none"

else //All other route (ie: Opera)

        target.onmousedown=function(){return false}

target.style.cursor = "default"

}

</script>

Body:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

disableSelection(document.body) 

</script>



<script type="text/javascript">

var somediv=document.getElementById("layer1")

disableSelection(somediv) 

</script>

P.S
You can choose install Opera as portable in installation options.

I can't see that code in the page you linked to?!

Anyway, the calls to disableSelection should not be made until the page has loaded.

Check your browser console for error messages. Mine (GC) says it couldn't load the resource http://js-kit.com/ratings.js. I don't have Opera installed currently.

Sorry, I reupload the example page. You can now see the correct page.

Btw you can choose install Opera as portable in install options.

That script does nothing useful at all - all anyone need do is to turn JavaScript off for your page so that it doesn't run - something that anyone likely to want to be able to do would have an option displayed in their browser status bar to do with one click.

The only situation where anything to do with "disable" something works with JavaScript is where the visitor to your page disables the script that is blocking what they want to do.

It works for me in the recent version of Opera for Windows, but you do not have a third field in your form which causes an error.

Could you explain the third field please?

There is when I view the source for your page, unless you are using some kind of templating system..

I have uploaded an unprotected page below. ıt has also has the third error but input fields are working, so it's not the cause.
