Hide text selection markers in Android stock browser

Question

I'm in a position where I really need to hide the text selection "markers" when editing an input field in the Android stock browser. They are in the way for other important information. It's a JSP-page. Is this technically possible?

Just to avoid any misunderstandings I'm adding and image to show what I mean:

In the android stock browser? Are you making a web app.. please clarify? — Amulya Khare, Nov 25 '13 at 08:32
Are you trying to say you do not want the functionality of clipboard ? — GrIsHu, Nov 25 '13 at 08:35
Sorry for being unclear, a bit stressed. It's Android Stock browser, it's a JSP-page. So javascript or CSS would be the solution. I know the broswer has a set of it's own specific classes for certain features. But I haven't found anything for this cause. — Jompis, Nov 25 '13 at 10:13

AFAIK There is not such way to disable the selection of the Text for EditText in android.

If this is an `EditText` in a person's own app, it can be achieved by overriding the `onSelectionChanged` – Amulya Khare Nov 25 '13 at 09:44
Yeah, I figured. But this is unfortunately the stock broswer. – Jompis Nov 25 '13 at 10:14
