Highlight/Select text in attribute table

DanNorman — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 22:07:00 GMT

Hi,

I would like users to be able to highlight or select text from the attribute table in Web Appbuilder. For instance, a user could open a table, then highlight, copy, and paste a value from a cell in the table to a text document. It appears as though selecting text is disabled in web appbuilder and other javascript based websites. Does anyone have a solution or know the properties i can add/remove/adjust in the attribute table or application code?

Thanks!

Dan,

This behavior is `as-designed`. Maybe user could export the selected record to CSV then copy the text.

Hi thanks for the reply. I understand there is a [user-select] attribute that can be placed in css that will allow the text selection. Any thoughts on which css file and controller this would go into?

Thanks!
