How can I make certain parts of my html not selectable?

I have some absolutely positioned divs that keep getting selected if a user tries to select the content of my page.

Is there a way to make it so certain elements (such as those divs) aren't selectable?

EDIT: The main issue is when someone copies these absolute div's and then pastes them into the rich text editor on my site, the rich text editor breaks on IE.
