Question

I have table that gets dynamically created.

When using jQuery and toggle, everything works. I however get a small visual glitch – it seems the HTML sometimes get selected. How would I disable this on a faulty drag or mouse operation?

Is there a difference in the DOM between text in a cell and ‘not text’ or buffered space in a td?

If you’re saying that you want to disable text selection in your table, there are ways to do it using CSS. Although it doesn’t work for IE or Opera as far as I know.

#myTable {
    user-select: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: -moz-none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
}

Other than that, maybe some sort of invisible overlay element in your table cells?
