PHP causing problems when selecting text
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 10:18 pm
Hello,
I'm having difficutlties with a website I've been designing. The problem is selecting text on the client side using Internet Explorer (6.0).
It is difficult to explain, so I'll just show you. If you go to my website at http://www.astronomyinfo.net and try to select the text in the body it will not work well at all. It will select the whole CSS division.
That's a PHP page with a .php extension (default.php) the images URLs are retrieved from a MySQL database. Anyway, now if you go to a page where I've just changed the .php to a .html extenstion like this one http://www.astronomyinfo.net/test.html you can see you'll be able to select the text. This has been the thorn in my side.
I had origionally thought it was due to CSS absolute positioning, but am not so sure now due to what I've just found out with this testing. I made .html files parse as php as a test and that did nothing...the problem still existed. I'm really at a loss as what to do. Has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Eric
