Hi Foilman!
I was wondering if you'd consider the following changes to the kwontom loop puzzle page?
In trying to complete puzzles quickly I find myself selecting text and images on the game board when I'm trying to place x's or lines (I somehow manage to click-move-release with the mouse instead of click-release-move and I do this irritatingly often).
It's possible to disable selection of stuff in webpages as per these instructions:

IE needs a tidbit of javascript and Firefox/Safari/Konqueror need some CSS gubbins. Not sure about Opera, but then I don't use it  Of course, in a perfect world, the CSS3 'user-select' property would fix this for all browsers... |

Good idea Dave! I do get that scenario a bit myself, and it does distract from getting a good time... I'll have a look into it. |

Ok, in theory this should be working now. When you're clicking in the puzzle you should no longer get the shaded selection area if you drag accidentally. I've tested it on Firefox & IE on Windows. |

Looks great here on Firefox/Linux. Thanks for that addition. |

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not fixed in Safari on OS X. |
