Prevent user highlighting element text
If you would like to prevent the user from selecting text inside an element, include onselectstart="return false;" inside your element tag.
<div onselectstart="return false;"></div>
I found this incredibly handy when allowing a user to drag select multiple < TD > in a < TABLE > which had text ('✔') inside of it, and it confused the user as to why the text is being highlighted.
