    Don't know if this is the right place to post this question but i'll give it a shot. The bluetooth site in my sig doesn't allow anyone to copy any of the text on the screen. What is causing this?

    I use mambo CMS to build the site so it must be somewhere in the code. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

    it can be caused by absolute positioning of <divs> and negative margins, as well as other validation issues

    should give you a place to start... 132 errors on the page... goto validator.w3.org

    Yea, it has to do with your DIV overlapping somehow, because you CAN still copy the text if you....

    hit ctrl+a

    OR

    If you start the mouse outside of the main table in the area with the blue background you can copy anything below that line.
