Is it possible for a user to select text on a web page using a mobile browser? With the CSS property "user-select: all" the whole text will be highlighted, but I also want to allow selecting specific words without assigning the property everywhere. See the code example below in order to see what I tried so far.
.all {
-moz-user-select: all;
-webkit-user-select: all;
-ms-user-select: all;
user-select: all;
}<p>You should be able to select this text.</p>
<p class="all">Clicking once will select all of this text.</p>Is it possible for a user to highlight text on a web page using a mobile browser?
Yes, if you navigate to the Mozilla page for user-select on your mobile device, you can see it in action. There's also a list of compatibility across browsers: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/user-select
Alternatively, I tried running this in Firefox' responsive design mode using the touch simulation featur and "touching" the bottom text (with the "all" class applied) produces the same effect as clicking it on the desktop.
