Disable Text Select without Disabling Right Click
Hi There,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I couldn't find a forum for Java Script, or asking help on web development.
I'm not great at java, (it's not my language) and don't really understand much about it's programming at all, so I'm looking for someone to help me with a basic script.
I know enough to read the basics of what I'm looking at, and make small changes, but in terms of actually writing scripts I'm clueless...
What I need is a script that will disable text select on screen, but will not disable right click.
It's for a WordPress site. All the plugins I've found, don't do one without the other, even though it gives you the option to.
I know this can be easily circumvented, and lessens the user experience, but it's for the subdomain of a private members blog, so making it a fun and wonderful user experience for the public is not a concern.
It's what my boss has asked me to do, so my personal choice doesn't really matter in this case anyway.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Luke

Java and JavaScript are completely different languages.

Re: Disable Text Select without Disabling Right Click
So you don't have anywhere for Javascript on here? :/
I know they are different, but i thought people who do Java would be more than capable of writing javascript which is much simpler?
Okay my bad!

Re: Disable Text Select without Disabling Right Click
The most astonishing part of this entire thread is that you have a job as a programmer and you think that a Java forum is an appropriate place to ask a question about JavaScript. How is that possible?

Re: Disable Text Select without Disabling Right Click
I was referring to you, you're being rude and obnoxious, the fact that you have been put into the position of a moderator on this forum, does not not give off the best image.

Re: Disable Text Select without Disabling Right Click
Because I'm a web developer and I'm more design based maybe? I've asked to be deleted, I do not wish to cause upset, and do not wish to be a member of a forum that lacks manners
