Hello,

I am unable to hilight/select text in hierarchical reply boxes in IE - upon douple click the whole box gets selected.
There is no way to select only certain words in the reply to the post.
In Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox everything works fine.

I'm using default drupal theme.

Has anybody seen this problem?

Regards,
Benjamin.

For example try to higlight only >this< text on the page.

Hi Shrom..

Have you found out what is causing that?

I have the same problem..although what is worrying is sometimes I can select text and sometimes I cannot (on drupal.org)

I am also having the same problems on my entire site.

Is this a theme issue? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm not sure if this applies to the default theme (pushbutton?), but I had this problem with a theme based on friendselectric.

There are some details about this and a possible fix at http://drupal.org/node/25957.
His solution is to comment the "position:relative" line below in style.css.

#content-wrap {
   float: left;
   /* position: relative; */
}

This has worked ok for me, without any noticeable changes in the css formatting, though I haven't checked everything thoroughly with different browsers. Just the main pages using IE 6.0, Firefox 1.0.4 and Konqueror 3.4.1

It's seems to be a common problem with the themes:
friendselectric
friendslight
persian
(see http://drupal.org/node/22120#comment-38027)
but I'm not sure if this fix will apply to the other themes, I've only tried it with friendselectric.
