I have a script that allows users to move "windows" (actually floating
tables) about but as they do so text in the background gets
highlighted (because the mouse button is down for the dragging) - can
I hide or disable this highlighting?

Thanks

How do you attach the even listener? With the W3C DOM Level 2 Events you
should be able to prevent the text selection in an mousedown listener by
calling preventDefault() e.g.
foo.addEventListener('mousedown'
function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
// ...
},
false
);

For IE add an onselectstart listener that returns false e.g

foo.attachEvent('onselectstart', function() { return false; });

I better go read some more... I was simply using onMouseDown for the
table. I wasn't attaching anything :)
I figured there must be a way to prevent it.

Thanks

document.getElementbyId("12").addEventListener("mousedown", alert(),
false);

I did this as a test. Id="12" is set in a table td. It errors saying
it expected an object. I have this in script below the table.

Thanks

sorry -
the eror is that 'object doesn't support this property or method'.
I tried attaching it to different types of objects and still same.
