I am trying to only allow  a user to select text from only one element at a 
time .

(I don't want the user to be able to select text from more than one element 
at a time)

Consequently by default text selection is disabled via css eg 
body{-moz-user-select::-moz-none}

 I attempted to enable text selection via a mousedown event and apply it to 
the current element

  this.setAttribute('style','-moz-user-select:text')

However this does not take effect immediately. It seems that the user must 
click once to enable
text selection and a second time to make the selection

What I want is a single click action that enables selection of text for  the 
"target" element of  the initial mouse down event

Any ideas or solutions?
