making text non-selectable

[Paul]

Hello,
I am trying to make a menu for a html page and I am using DIV tags for
buttons. I don't like the idea of being able to select the text, is
there a way I can change this behaviour to make the text
non-selectable?

Advice for any browser appreciated.
TIA
Paul.

DOM 2 Events method
evtObj.preventD efault();
will avoid selecting the text when clicking on those <div>s for W3C DOM
2 Events compliant browsers (Mozilla 1.x, Opera 7.x, Safari 1.x, etc) while
event.returnVal ue = false;
will avoid selecting the text when clicking on those <div>s in MSIE 5+
browsers.

Nothing standards compliant and thus nothing cross-browser. Atigs.
