Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Label text selection

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

The cancelBrowseEvent is not even needed in the label widget for it to
work correctly.  The setting of the cursor (which is done too) seems
to do excactly the same thing.  I removed the cancelBrowseEvent in IE
5 and had no troubles with the examples.
