How can I prevent text/element selection with cursor drag

by

dragging and selecting both initialize on a mouse down event and update on subsequent mouse moves. When you handle the events to begin dragging, or to follow the mouse, cancel the event’s bubbling and override the default browser return:

something like this in your begin dragging mousedown and move handlers-

e=e || window.event;
pauseEvent(e);

function pauseEvent(e){
    if(e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
    if(e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
    e.cancelBubble=true;
    e.returnValue=false;
    return false;
}
