Prevent Selection of Image

[Erik M.]

Hi,

I've got several Image Widgets on my Site. Is there a way to prevent
the selection with the mouse? Selection of an image means its getting
a blue background and being draggable to other windows.
Can you think of an HTML or GWT solution?

I read that one option was to add an mouseMove event handler and let
it "return false;". This was a pure JavaScript solution, not related
to GWT.

Sincerely,
Erik

Hi

Use <div style='background: url("image.png");"> GWT can help you
writing this code. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideClientBundle.html#Image_Sprites

Other option is to try to prevent the browser for taking the default
action. (I did not try myself)

image.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});

Regards

Some browsers support a css property that literally prevents the
applied elements from being selected. If i recall one must add
javascript for a particular selection event and cancel for IE and
opera but Safari and FF are easy with a css property being enough.

or you can simply stop creating new Image() and use element.getStyle().setBackgroundImage() instead. much cleaner this way.
