Summary

In Mozilla applications, -moz-user-input determines if an element will accept user input.

• Initial value : none
• Applies to: all elements
• Inherited : yes
• Percentages: n/a
• Media: visual
• Computed value : as specified

-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

-moz-user-input: none | enabled | disabled | inherit

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.

Related properties

• -moz-user-focus controls what happens when an element is given focus.
• -moz-user-modify controls if a user can read or write in an element.
• -moz-user-select controls how an element is selected.

Examples

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