-moz-user-input

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Summary

In Mozilla applications, -moz-user-input determines if an element will accept user input. A similar property user-focus was proposed in early drafts of a predecessor of the CSS3 UI specification but was rejected by the working group.

-moz-user-input was one of the proposals leading to the proposed CSS 3 user-input property, which has not yet reached Candidate Recommendation (call for implementations).

For elements that normally take user input, such as a <textarea>, the initial value of -moz-user-input is enabled.

Syntax

/* Keyword values */
-moz-user-input: none;
-moz-user-input: enabled;
-moz-user-input: disabled;

/* Global values */
-moz-user-input: inherit;
-moz-user-input: initial;
-moz-user-input: unset;

Values

none
The element does not respond to user input, and it does not become :active.
enabled
The element accepts user input. For textboxes, this is the default behavior.
disabled
The element does not accept user input. However, this is not the same as setting disabled to true, in that the element is drawn normally.

Formal syntax

none | enabled | disabled

Examples

input.example {
  /* the user will be able to select the text, but not change it. */
  -moz-user-input: disabled;
}
