Re: clearing or preventing double-click selection

This will disable text selection altogether:

protected native static void disableTextSelectInternal(Element e,
boolean disable)
/*-{
if (disable) {
e.ondrag = function () { return false; };
e.onselectstart = function () { return false; };
e.style.MozUserSelect="none"
} else {
e.ondrag = null;
e.onselectstart = null;
e.style.MozUserSelect="text"
}
}-*/;
