[Solved] Text not selectable

Post by stuarty80 »

Hi, I have very nearly completed the layout for my site. I have came across something that I have never seen before on any html website. The site works and functions ok, but the text can not be selected. As i say i have never came across this before, and don't have a clue where to start looking. Is there anybody else that has noticed this, or is it a cmsms thing?

to show what i mean web address is: http://www.stuartbogle.com/cmsmadesimple/index.php


cheers

Not sure what you mean - I was able to select text with no problem if you mean copy and paste.

Cheers, Vivien

Could you let me know what browser you are using. I am using Internet explorer 6. If you can select it, then that must mean it works, but is it just an IE problem then?

It is just that i can not select the text to copy and paste.

cheers

This is a IE6 bug which is caused by the base tag in most cases.

Code: Select all

<base href="http://www.stuartbogle.com/cmsmadesimple/" />
There are several solutions for this problem, but adding position:relative; to the body tag will solve the problem.
