Create button to select everything in a text area

Kushagra93 · # 1 (**permalink**)

Here is a simple script : Which you can use to highlight everything in a text box/area
so that the user can copy it or cut it easily.

This is the code :

Code:

<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">
 The text/content goes over here.
</textarea>

</center>
</form>

just notice one the textarea name is textarea and
javascript:this.form.textarea.focus();this.form.te xtarea.select();

Change every textarea word with the name of your text area

and for a Google type effect, that by just clicking on the textarea
everything inside gets selected, you can use this code :

Code:

<form>
<center>

<textarea name=”textarea” rows="10" cols="30" wrap="virtual"
onClick=”javascript:this.form.textarea.focus();this.form.textarea.select();”>

 The text/content goes over here.

</textarea>

</center>
</form>
