The property is read-only.
The property has a default value of
yes.
Remarks
Note The selection property is read-only; however, the SELECTION attribute can be used to set the initial value.
Set the SELECTION attribute to no to prevent the context menu from displaying.
If you set the CONTEXTMENU attribute to yes, it has no effect in this case.
Note The use of content-editable elements overrides the selection property. When the
contentEditable property is set to true anywhere in an HTML Application (HTA), any object can be selected.
