Hiya, I want to make the canvas unselectable as it's going to be in the background of my website. Here's my current code...why doesn't this work?

Cheers,

Rob

makeUnselectable = function(elem) {

if (elem == undefined || elem.style == undefined) return;

elem.onselectstart = function() {

return false;

};

elem.style.MozUserSelect = 'none';

elem.style.KhtmlUserSelect = 'none';

elem.unselectable = 'on';

var kids = elem.childNodes;

for (var i = 0; i < kids.length; i++) {

makeUnselectable(kids[i]);

}

};

makeUnselectable($('canvas')[0]);
