Text selection disable & Opera Browser

[seamoon]

While the script works fine on all browsers except Opera Browser. Input fields and drop down menu becomes unclickable, how to fix it?

My example page:

http://www.aymavisi.org/makale/Evlil...20Gibran).html

Head:

<script type="text/javascript">
function disableSelection(target){
if (typeof target.onselectstart!="undefined") //IE route
	target.onselectstart=function(){return false}
else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect!="undefined") //Firefox route
	target.style.MozUserSelect="none"
else //All other route (ie: Opera)
	target.onmousedown=function(){return false}
target.style.cursor = "default"
}
</script>

Body:

<script type="text/javascript">
disableSelection(document.body) 
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var somediv=document.getElementById("layer1")
disableSelection(somediv) 
</script>

P.S
You can choose install Opera as portable in installation options.

target.onmousedown=function(){return false} is the source of the problem in Opera because it disables any mousedown event in the entire document.

How about:

target.onmousedown=function(){
var txt=(window.getSelection)? window.getSelection().toString():document.selection.createRange().text;

if(txt) return false;//if any text if selected
}

The modified script doesn't disable the text selection.

<script type="text/javascript">
function disableSelection(target){
if (typeof target.onselectstart!="undefined") //IE route
	target.onselectstart=function(){return false}
else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect!="undefined") //Firefox route
	target.style.MozUserSelect="none"
else //All other route (ie: Opera)
target.onmousedown=function(){
 var txt=(window.getSelection)? window.getSelection().toString():document.selection.createRange().text;

 if(txt) return false;//if any text if selected
 }
</script>
