I am trying to eliminate the text selection from portions of the layout.
So far i had no luck. I am trying to capture select event so that can call
Event.preventDefault() from an event handler function. It is not event catching
select events.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.put a select event handler to any html object
2.call an event handler
3.prevent text selection
Actual Results: No success, select event can not be caught.
Expected Results: catching the event and disabling the text selection using
Event.preventDefault().
<html>
<script>
function ch() {
alert("hello");
Event.cancelable=True;
Event.preventDefault();
}
</script>
<body bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
<div id=b_1 width=100 height=26 select="ch()">
Hey there
</div>
</body>
</html>
Marking this bug INVALID for the following reasons:
* The attribute should be "onselect", not "select".
* The HTML4 spec defines onselect as: "The onselect event occurs when a user
selects some text in a text field. This attribute may be used with the INPUT and
TEXTAREA elements."
* The testcase doesn't work in 4.x, so there's no compatibility issue either.
Other irrelevant problems with the testcase are:
* You should test for event.cancelable and event.preventDefault before using
them (in Mozilla's case, the former will cause a problem)
* DIV doesn't have HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes.
* There's no way for the event to get to the function ch. You'd need
ch(event).
