What does this css code really do?

What does this code means and what does it?

  -webkit-user-select: none;

-khtml-user-select: none;

-moz-user-select: none;

-o-user-select: none;

-ms-user-select: none;

user-select: none;

It means you can’t select. See here and try to highlight the text.

Thanks a lot.

Also I just found this page:

I thinnnnnk it’s been removed from the spec. Not sure though I’ll have to look. I do know that it’s a mess of inconsistent support that makes it largely unusable. I like the idea of it though. It’s something you’d use on like action icons or images or something so that they don’t get selected (since they are useless to select anyway) when you are trying to select text around them.
