possible to stop selection

    Is it possible to stop people from selecting your text and such with the mouse by dragging the mouse over the parts desired to be selected. I know it is a rather contrived sentence but I hope it makes sense.
    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the help any ways. I tred to insert a div above the text but the text was obscured by it even if there was no background color at all. Oh well. Thanks again. I have read many other places that say pretty much give up the attempt. I know some one can see the source that does not matter, I just need them to not be allowed to select cause it interfears with a function I have created. HMM, just thinking is it possible to deselect the words?

    Thanks a metric ton. That worked like a charm. You can not select any text on the page. One word, AWSOME.

    Thanks again for the reply.
