Creating a button to select everything in a text area.
By krates | 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.

</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.

</textarea>
