I'm using this CSS to disable text selection. It works in Chrome and Safari, but not in Firefox
*.e-pdfviewer-pageCanvas {
-moz-user-select: -moz-none !important;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-o-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
*.e-pdfviewer-pageCanvas * {
-moz-user-select: text;
-khtml-user-select: text;
-webkit-user-select: text;
-o-user-select: text;
user-select: text;
}
With the following code you can disable text selection in the entire webpage, except inputs and textareas:
document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].onselectstart = function(e) {
if (e.target.nodeName != "INPUT" && e.target.nodeName != "TEXTAREA") {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
return true;
};
Alternatively, if you want to disable text selection completely you can use this code:
document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].onselectstart = function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
};
If you want to disable text selection only for the elements having the class .e-pdfviewer-pageCanvas you can use:
var pdfviewer = document.getElementsByClassName("e-pdfviewer-pageCanvas");
for (var i = 0; i < pdfviewer.length; i++) {
pdfviewer[i].onselectstart = function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
};
};
If none of the aforementioned solved your issue, use the following code in your HTML <body> or the element you want to disable text selection for specifically:
<body onselectstart = "return false;" style = "-moz-user-select: none;">...</body>
Or in JavaScript:
document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].onselectstart = function(e) {return false};
document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].style.mozUserSelect = "none";
e.target.nodeName != "INPUT" && e.target.nodeName != "TEXTAREA".Try this simple jQuery plugin:
jQuery.fn.extend({
disableSelection : function() {
this.each(function() {
this.onselectstart = function() { return false; };
this.unselectable = "on";
jQuery(this).css({
'-moz-user-select': 'none'
,'-o-user-select': 'none'
,'-khtml-user-select': 'none'
,'-webkit-user-select': 'none'
,'-ms-user-select': 'none'
,'user-select': 'none'
});
});
}
});
$('.e-pdfviewer-pageCanvas').disableSelection();
