Prevent Copying

in jQuery Mobile • 8 months ago

Up until recently I used this in CSS to prevent copying in my app, but it no longer seems to work and I am not sure why.

body {
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}

Anyone still successful with this or any ideas why it has suddenly stopped working for me?

https://caniuse.com/#search=user-select shows that Chrome does not use the prefixed -webkit-user-select anymore. Add user-select. Safari still does. You need both.

Well it turns out I had a typo in the entry above this in the css file. It was a closed comment without an opening comment. Not sure why this did not affect other css statements below too but it must have been self correcting after awhile.

I also applied the user-select for Chrome too since it no longer supports webkit.

All is now good again.
