To disable text selection on pages of your website using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the element: Identify the element or elements on your page that you want to disable text selection for. This could be a specific section, a div, or even the entire body.

  2. Add a custom CSS class: Once you have selected the element, go to the Style panel and add a custom CSS class. You can do this by clicking on the "+" icon next to the "Class" field and entering a name for your class.

  3. Open the Custom Code tab: Go to the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer and click on the "Custom Code" tab.

  4. Insert the CSS code: In the "Custom Code" tab, scroll down to the "Head Code" section. Here, you will need to insert some CSS code to disable text selection. Use the following code snippet:

    ```css
    .your-custom-class {
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
    }
    ```

    Replace your-custom-class with the name of the CSS class you created in step 2.

  5. Publish your site: Once you have added the CSS code, remember to publish your site for the changes to take effect. You can do this by clicking on the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer.

By following these steps, you can easily disable text selection on pages of your website using Webflow. This can be useful if you want to prevent users from copying content or if you want to provide a more controlled browsing experience.
