I have been trying to make it so text on my webpage cannot be highlighted. I searched previous posts and found a code that supposidely doesnt allow text to be highlighted on a webpage. The code is as follows:

But when I put into my html editor it just displays it as plain text on my webpage. Is there any other part of the html code I am missing here so that I can get it to work? Help would be much appreciated.

I am curious as to why you would want to disable the possibility of selecting text of your site. If it is to stop people copying content, then you should be aware that there are other ways for people to do this such as taking a screenrgab.

Anyway, glad to hear you got your problem solved!

Oh, and welcome to Webmaster World!
