@Sojan80: not sure why that is odd behaviour. It works for me too, as I would expect it to.

Oddly enough though I have found that using the Select All property on the right click menu does select the title text. I still think it is a neat trick, and one that I may use myself someday….

Thats sweet thanks for the insight!

Oooh, I can feel it coming. No, it’s not is it? Oh my god, it is! Yes! Another big long sIFR debate that goes on and on and gets nowhere! Arrgh! I can’t escape them!

Nice effect. I agree that original CSS techniques are few and far between these days.

@Kaystarmaker:

but thats something not all users know

its not rocket science, they can get around by trying & selecting a wider area. the worst that can happen IMHO is that they’ll start selecting from quite a bit more characters earlier instead of 2-3.

and if you want to keep your site from confusing users, you dont want text to be un-selectable

I agree, but then as I see it, this thing will be used for headlines etc. only, not something people usually need to select!! ;)

besides, the point here is just to show off that its possible & practical to a lot of extent!! :)
