Text on page not selectable RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have an html/javascript app that uses page controls to display its content. It seems that none of the text in the app is selectable, which makes it impossible to highlight and copy information. I am not sure if theres a style tag or js over ride that is the reason, but I would like to change it if anyone knows how.

  • Hi Tanner,

    As I know if you set contenteditable as true in your html control to make the contents selectable.

    <div contenteditable="true">Content goes here</div>
