Question

I have a draggable (jQuery UI) element with “canceled” text on it. Here’s what I mean:

$('#main').draggable({
        cancel: '#main>* *',
        start: function(){
          // deselect text
        }
});

When I drag the element, I often select the text by accident. I want to deselect the text when the element is dragged.

Answer 1

Clear document selection document.selection.empty();

Something like:

 $('#main').draggable({
     cancel: '#main>* *',
     start: function(){
      // deselect text
      document.selection.empty();
     }
 });
