Answer 1

In JQuery 1.8+ try the following -

(function($){
    $.fn.disableSelection = function() {
        return this
                 .attr('unselectable', 'on')
                 .css('user-select', 'none')
                 .on('selectstart', false);
    };
})(jQuery);

You can also try the following -

(function($) {
    if ($.browser.mozilla) {
        $.fn.disableTextSelect = function() {
            return this.each(function() {
                $(this).css({
                    'MozUserSelect' : 'none'
                });
            });
        };
        $.fn.enableTextSelect = function() {
            return this.each(function() {
                $(this).css({
                    'MozUserSelect' : ''
                });
            });
        };
    } else if ($.browser.msie) {
        $.fn.disableTextSelect = function() {
            return this.each(function() {
                $(this).bind('selectstart.disableTextSelect', function() {
                    return false;
                });
            });
        };
        $.fn.enableTextSelect = function() {
            return this.each(function() {
                $(this).unbind('selectstart.disableTextSelect');
            });
        };
    } else {
        $.fn.disableTextSelect = function() {
            return this.each(function() {
                $(this).bind('mousedown.disableTextSelect', function() {
                    return false;
                });
            });
        };
        $.fn.enableTextSelect = function() {
            return this.each(function() {
                $(this).unbind('mousedown.disableTextSelect');
            });
        };
    }
})(jQuery);
