Question

I’m using the jQuery UI function .disableSelection() to disable text selection. While it works fine for <div> elements, I can’t get it to work for <input> elements. Any suggestions?

Here is an example of the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/7SfBx/

Assuming you are looking to stop text selecting rather than disable an element, you can modify your code slightly to achieve this. Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/7SfBx/2/

$('.test').disableSelection().css('webkit-user-select','none');
