css rule to disable text selection highlighting

On my homepage i have a script, which shows a clock at the top of my homepage. I dont like the fact that i can choose this clock with my mouse, see the picture.

So i want to know if there is a way to completely prevent an html element from being selected by the mouse.

CSS can do that.

-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-o-user-select: none;
user-select: none;

One for each browser engine (Chrome,Safari = webkit, Chrome 1.0 = khtml, Firefox = moz, Opera = o) and one for those who implement the CSS3 spec correctly.
