selection text on straight HTML

[simoms]

In the page, I only add the qooxdoo component in the div, and using qx.ui.basic.Inline add it to existing html.
the page similar as  http://www.fitnesswelt.com/fitness-shop/ 

but the problem is when using qooxdoo, the selection and copy function is disabled. I need to active the selection and mouse right click function, how can i do?

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,

the reason for this behaviour is the CSS property "MozUserSelect" which
is set by several widgets (including the table, exactly the default
headerRenderer class) to "none". It seems, that Gecko is setting the
property at the body element (-> "-moz-user-select:none") and this
prevents any selection on the whole page.
Unfortunately you cannot set this property on element level to enable
user selection on specific elements and leaving all other elements
untouched, because this is still a bug in the gecko engine.

So the only possible workaround could be to manually set the property at
the body element after the page finished loading. I've just experimented
with it using the Firebug extension (this way you can enable/disable CSS
properties on the fly) and if you dynamically remove the CSS property at
the body element the text inside the HtmlEmbeds are selectable.

Hope this helps,
   Alex

Hi Simon!


You can remove a CSS property by the DOM API:
document.body.style.removeProperty("-moz-user-select");


Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I am sorry that the method does not work.
I am using the external style sheet, is it related?

Hi Simon,


could you try this little test script: http://mysterycity.de/blog/sandbox/gecko_user_select.html? You should be able to select the text after clicking the button.

You can search for for "-moz-user-select" in your style sheets, but I think it would be quite unusual if there were such entries.


Cheers,
Jonathan
