Disabling "block selection" on an iPhone - javascript

I am building an app for iPhone that has JavaScript running in a webview. When the new auto-select block selection tool is used to select text, and the block is resized from the side, it makes my JavaScript freak out. Does anyone know a way to disable the copy/paste for block selection? I still need to be able to select the text, just not using the big selection tool.
Thanks

To my knowledge, there is nothing in the UIWebView API to allow this. Your best bet is probably to tweak it from the JS side of things.

Is the WebBrowser control equivalent to IE?

Today I started to write a very primitive web browser, and decided to use the WebBrowser control in winforms. After using it to go to stackoverfloe.com, I see that it cannot run JavaScript. Also the layout is really weird. It seems like someone has blown up the page. The buttons (questions, tags, users etc) were all off their original positions!
I just want to know whether WebControl is just a simplified IE, because no other browsers would display webpages like they were blown up.

Is it possible to inject HTML into a website to force-enable scrolling?

Okay, so this is a bit of an odd question. Facebook is trying to remove the feature that hides your profile from search, but requires you hit an accept button before they can remove it. I like my privacy, so instead I just used ABP to hide the dialog box and give me back access to the page. The problem is that scrolling has been disabled, so while I can interact with the content that's currently visible, I can't scroll down. Is there a way to inject HTML or JS that would force-enable scrolling?
Seems as a job for greasemonkey

There are similar plugins for other browsers, Chrome have support for users scripts by default but there is a great addon there as well

Internet Explorer can also offer this by adding Trixie

If you don't need it all the time and don't want to go to the effort of making a script you could just edit the html directly using either the developer tools built in to most browsers and inspecting the element.
Just right click what you want to change and select inspect element.

How to know if something is programmed in Flash or Javascript

I was looking for examples of Javascript games and I came across this. It looks like Flash. I tried looking at the source code, and all I see are a bunch of div tags, but not really any Javascript. I couldn't find the code that actually runs the game.
Is this Flash or Javascript? How can you tell?
It's Javascript.
When you right click it gives you the native browser context menu. Right-clicking anything in Flash will give you a Flash context menu. The only time that method fails is when you get no context menu at all.
Also, highlight the text "Press enter". It uses native text highlighting.
As far as I know is impossible to hide the typical secondary flash context menu telling the version, etc...
I found is using a core.js javascript
Hope it helps.
You can try to disable the plugin of shockwave flash from browser's options. Then refresh page and see, whether 'target flash' disappears. If so then it was flash.

Copy text from a spotify application

My application generates a link from the song that is currently playing. My idea is to set a button with a click event that copy the link to the clipboard.
I've seen solutions like zeroclipboard but flash isn't allowed, so it should be just javascript.
From what I can remember, this only works in Flash. I think the best workaround is to put the text in an input box and instruct the user to copy it manually.
Yeah... Don't do that.
Train your users to use drag-and-drop (which works fine for HTML links without any "clever" hacks). They will thank you for it.
If you can't achieve what you want with drag-and-drop, submit a bug against the application you're trying to drag-and-drop into.
It's not going to work:
>> document.queryCommandEnabled('Copy')
false

Disable & resize IE

I have a few questions in mind...
I want to disable right click on my webpage so that noone can alter
the source code
I want to disable the addressBar as well
I wish to resize it to a particular size in the bottom right of my
screen & with a text area so that when ever I click the button
inside that webpage all the contents in that text box should be
copied
I tried experimenting but it doesn't seem to work, javascript maybe has some issues.
I wan't it purely on javascript & HTML (Can't use php/asp), want it to work on IE only, dont care about other browsers....
1) I wasnt to dis able right click on my webpage so that no one can
alter the source code
Regardless of browser hackery employed, the user will always be able to view your source. Nobody will ever be able to alter the source code on your server (short of the server being hacked or a vulnerability in your code is found). But, using Firebug (or similar), anyone can change client-side script, CSS and/or HTML.
2)I want to disable the addressBar as well
You can't just gain full access of a browser. That would get annoying pretty quickly (think about the potential browser-inducing epilepsy if every site had control over your root browser and did different things to it). One thing that you could do is have your site create a popup window that is set to a specific size with specific attributes (hiding the address bar, etc). Note that you may annoy users with this as you'll have to deal with popup blockers and such.
3)I wish to resize it to a particular size in the bottom right of my
screen & with a text area so that when ever I click the button inside
that webpage all the contents in that text box should be copied
I have no idea what this means.
Was this post a troll?
You can't disable the address bar with JavaScript.
However you can disable right click. Note: Anyone with enough technical background to know what to do with the source code would know enough to just disable JavaScript to get their right click working.
Here's a demo with source code to disable right click.
Demian's answer has some good insight on what you're asking, I strongly suggest you rethink what you're doing.
