title: disable text selection while pressing 'shift'
body: <p>I'm implementing item selection functionality in javascript (using jQuery). <i>item</i> is a li that contains some html.<br>
  the user can click on one item (makes it selected) and then shift-click on another item to select all the items in between. this basically works OK, however the shift-click also selects (higtlights) the text that appears inside the items (the basic browser functionality for shift clicks). is there any way to disable this?</p>
