IE6 won't select/highlight text correctly |
|---|
| message from oedipusrex on 21 Jul 2004 |
Hello, and welcome to my first post!
http://www.animalactivists.org/WFAD. Clicking the About WFAD link will
probably give us a better example.
Simply put, IE6 does not allow users to select the text correctly. Try it and
see. Either you select partial text, or you don't get much control over what
you select, or you select the whole damn page!
This does not happen in Mozilla's newest, though I can't say I've tried any
other browsers.
Everything is in div tags and I've made pretty extensive use of my stylesheet,
but I can't seem to find anything wrong with what I've done. I tried giving
the text's div tag the highest z-index on the page, but that didn't solve the
problem, and it messed with my formatting anyway. I'm using Dreamweaver MX
2004.
Is this a browser issue? If so, does anyone know of any workarounds? ... or
perhaps there is something I can do differently.... or maybe it's something
about Dreamweaver?
Thankfully awaiting your suggestions and loathing IE,
Frank

It's maybe because your class definition is outside an editable area:
<DIV class=body id=body
style="Z-INDEX: 100; LEFT: 0px; OVERFLOW: auto; WIDTH: 535px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 250px; HEIGHT: 450px"><SPAN class=content>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="body" -->
<P><STRONG>The purpose of World Farm Animals Day </STRONG>is to manifest,
memorialize, mourn, and mitigate the needless suffering and death of 50
billion
<snipped>
</P>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</SPAN></DIV>

That cannot possibly have anything to do with it.
