How can I deselect text using Javascript or jQuery?

Question

I have a draggable (jQuery UI) element with \"canceled\" text on it. Here\'s what I mean:

$(\'#main\').draggable({
        cancel: \'#main>* *\',
        star         


        

Answer 1

Clear document selection document.selection.empty();

Something like:

 $('#main').draggable({
     cancel: '#main>* *',
     start: function(){
      // deselect text
      document.selection.empty();
     }
 });
