| Feb 15 at 11:43 | comment | added | KalleMP | Does not seem to work for me on the following site. I wanted to translate the description tab text of the product and that is the ONLY thing on the page that I cannot drag select. The cursor changes to "I" beam and Ctrl-A worked but weird. nadir.com.br/… | |

Note that at least in chrome if you try to copy and paste this into the address bar the JavaScript protocol will be stripped out, though you can type it again and it will work. | |

I came across a webpage where appending a style element didn't work so I changed it to this: var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]; body.setAttribute("style", 'user-select: auto !important;-webkit-user-select: auto !important;');
