No information about the unselectable HTML attribute. #5745
Description

This seems to be an attribute only supported on older versions of IE and never standardized. The modern, cross-browser CSS property to accomplish this is via
user-select: noneReacted by Rogério Taques and KaiIndeed.
Perhaps, this would be out of scope for caniuse.com, but IMHO it would be super useful to be able to find such an explanation when searching for such a not standard (and even deprecated) attribute. 😅
If out of scope, please feel free to close this issue. 🙂
Not out of scope, but not high on the priority list either. Will keep it open in case other folks run into it.
Reacted by Rogério TaquesReacted by Rogério TaquesI just randomly found the unselectable attribute in our project and wondered what in the world this absolutely undocumented thing is supposed to do.
Would be great to at least get a dummy-ish entry on caniuse.
I was able to find out that Edge/IE11 mode apparently respect the attribute on text-element. Apparently also older Opera Versions make use of this attribute.
Some documentation I found: help.dottoro.com/lhwdpnva.php
It seems that the
unselectableattribute cannot be checked on caniuse.com!
