jQuery plugin to make text selectable or not selectable by the user. Simply select the element and run the selectable function with a boolean input, false to make unselectable and true to make selectable. Example: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $('some_element').selectable(false); }); </script> </head> <body> <div id="some_element"> This text is not selectable. </div> <div> This text is selectable. </div> </body> </html>
