Description
The
-ms-user-select property is a new Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) property that enables app and web developers to control where users can select text within their Windows apps that use JavaScript or webpages. The
user-select property is not currently part of any World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) CSS specification. It was originally proposed in the
User Interface for CSS3 module, but this module has since been superseded by
CSS3 Basic User Interface Module, which does not contain the
user-select property. Other major browsers support their own prefixed versions of this property. There are minor differences between the three implementations, so be sure to test your application across browsers.
