copied!<p>Ran into the same issue on a nasty web app that I have to use daily at work. </p> <p>Tried writing my own bookmarklet which would overwride <em><code>onselectstart</code></em> event handler, but it did not work, apparently because of the additional CSS rules that had to be modified. </p> <p>Then I have found the <em><a href="http://alanhogan.com/code/text-selection-bookmarklet" rel="noreferrer">Enable All Text Selection bookmarklet by Alan Hogan</a></em> that solved the problem for me. The only issue with the bookmarklet is that it does not handle frames/iframes.</p> <p>As an added bonus, it also enables the mouse right-click event on pages that block it.</p> <p>Create a bookmark (e.g. by dragging the icon to the left of the URL for any page to your bookmarks bar), right-click and select <em>Edit</em>, rename to something meaningful, and insert the following code in the URL field:</p> <pre><code>javascript:(function(){function ats(){var styles='*,p,div{user-select:text !important;-moz-user-select:text !important;-webkit-user-select:text !important;}';jQuery('head').append(jQuery('<style />').html(styles));var allowNormal=function(){return true;};jQuery('*[onselectstart], *[ondragstart], *[oncontextmenu], #songLyricsDiv').unbind('contextmenu').unbind('selectstart').unbind('dragstart').unbind('mousedown').unbind('mouseup').unbind('click').attr('onselectstart',allowNormal).attr('oncontextmenu',allowNormal).attr('ondragstart',allowNormal);}function atswp(){if(window.jQuery){ats();}else{window.setTimeout(atswp,100);}}if(window.jQuery){ats();}else{var s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src','http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);atswp();}})(); </code></pre> <p>It has limitations though in that it is not going to work inside nested frames.</p> <hr> <p>..btw, to make the bookmarklet code readable, I have used the Bookmarkelt Builder at <a href="http://subsimple.com/bookmarklets/jsbuilder.htm" rel="noreferrer">http://subsimple.com/bookmarklets/jsbuilder.htm</a> - just paste the minified bookmarklet text and click the Format button; this tool saved me a lot of time.</p>
