Question

There is a small button that reveals some extra content when clicked. When I click fast or more than once the content that shows up is marked like it is selected:

This selection disappears when the animation of jquery show effect is finished. The black arrow points to the button.

Any idea why there is this selection and how to avoid it?

Answer 1

When you’re clicking fast you’re probably moving your mouse a bit, which makes you select items. Try using

document.selection.empty();

and (doesn’t work in all browsers)

window.getSelection().removeAllRanges();

to clear the selection.
