my webapp requires users to tap and hold on an element for a game action,
but iPhone automatically “selects” the area which is confusing to the user.

anyone know what html elements prevent selection, or if javascript can block selection?

any help is appreciated

    Try handling the selectstart event and returning false.

    Try applying the CSS rule, -webkit-user-select: none;
