[jQuery] How to keep text from being highlighted when I'm handling the mouse events


I have some graphics I'm moving around indirectly with the mouse. When
I happen to drag across text as I move the mouse, that text gets
highlighted as a selection.
How do I prevent the browser's text-selection as I move?
Is there an easy solution, or do I need to dig into the UI draggables
to work it out?
(No, I can't use draggables--I'm not dragging anything.)
Right now I'm handling over, out, down, and up.
