I’m working on a webpage where I need to prevent text selection within a textarea element.
I tried to use the selectionchange event to stop the selection, but it doesn’t work:
const textarea = document.getElementById("myTextarea");
document.addEventListener("selectionchange", (e) => {
e.stopPropagation();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.preventDefault();
console.log();
});<textarea>This text is somewhat long, but not so looooooonnnng</textarea>
