anyone know how they managed to apply the text there so you can't highlight it and do the ctrl + c to copy it?
is there a code for it?

Hi
Is it the menu bar on the left hand side you are referring to? If so, this is because they are images apposed to text.
I hope this help.
Many Thanks
Leo

Hey there...
I think there may be something badly wrong with you pc or browser. I have tried and succeeded. Below in blue. No...I did not type it out.
Cheers,
Kay.
Born in the Ivory Coast, the 6 foot four inch stopper has Swiss nationality, having moved to Geneva when he was just 17 months old.
He has represented his adopted country 11 times since 2006 and was one of the youngest players in Germany 2006.
Djourou made his debut for the Gunners in October 2004 in a Carling Cup game against Manchester City and his Premiership debut came in January 2006 when he was part of the side which hammered Middlesbrough 7-0.
His performances so impressed Gunners boss Arsene Wenger that he was given a six year contract extension in 2006.
He made 30 appearances for the London club last season, and has played 45 times for them in total.
Although he is centre back, the versatile Djourou has also played in central midfield and as a full back on either side.

A neat trick sometimes is that the text pastes itself in white as most backgrounds are in white, you will not see the text initially.
As Leo has hinted, if you do not want people to be able to cut and paste the text info then prepare it as an image.

Then what you write will be invisible to the search engines and they can always save the image,:rolleyes: :D :D

If you do this you would be wise to have the text display elsewhere as plain text otherwise people who use non-visual browsers (text based or visually impaired) will get nothing. You can print tons of text that can be read by these browsers by using the display settings in css which will also allow you to prepare text specifically for those mediums that will be 'invisible' (actually it is that the device ignores them).
Please note that there is currently a class action filed in America against a company that has not made its site accessible to people with impaired abilities and UK law allows the same to happen over here. Also it is just good form to provide everyone with access to your site by correctly using the alt tag for images and providing sensible links (instead of the ubiquitous 'click here'. There is nothing worse to a blind person than navigating to a web site and listening to the computer say 'click here' twenty times and having no idea which click goes where)

...the search robots look for text same colour as the background or with a very similar hex code, if they find it and a reviewer (human) agrees you could get your site blacklisted from that engine.
This site is using a dynamic Java call, techincally it's page within a page but because it's an application your browser sees an image although constructed as what would appear to be text.
