    • Creating a button to select everything in a text area.

    By admin | December 10, 2007

    Here is a simple script sometimes you want to highlight verything in a text field so that the user can copy it or something.

    script goes here

    <form>
    <center>
    <input type=button value=”Highlight All” onClick=”javascript:this.form.textarea.focus();this.form.textarea.select();”>

    <br>

    <textarea NAME=”textarea” ROWS=10 COLS=30 WRAP=VIRTUAL>

    Put all the content over here.

    Thanks kushagra
    </textarea>
    </center>
    </form>

    just notice one the textarea name is textarea and

    javascript:this.form.textarea.focus();this.form.textarea.select();

    Change every textarea word with the name of your text area

    and for a google type by just clicking on textarea everything gets selected you can do\

     <form>
    <center>

    <textarea NAME=”textarea” ROWS=10 COLS=30 WRAP=VIRTUAL onClick=”javascript:this.form.textarea.focus();this.form.textarea.select();”>

    Put all the content over here.

    Thanks kushagra
    </textarea>
    </center>
    </form>

    thanks
