The header for my page has some centered text, but I do not want the user to be able to select it. Is there a way to do this with CSS?
You can use the user-select property to disable text selection of an element. In web browsers, if you double-click on some text it will be selected/highlighted. This property can be used to prevent this.
Copying text is no rocket science. You just need to highlight the subject with your cursor and use the keyboard shortcut CTRL +C.
The CSS below stops users from being able to select text.
-webkit-user-select: none; /* Safari */ -moz-user-select: none; /* Firefox */ -ms-user-select: none; /* IE10+/Edge */ user-select: none; /* Standard */
To target IE9 downwards the html attribute unselectable
must be used instead:
<p unselectable="on">Test Text</p>
Use a simple background image for the textarea suffice.
Or
<div onselectstart="return false">your text</div>
