Hi.

I work with IE 6

I have a text area with several words, when i double click to select one of those words, it selects the word with a blank space that is just next to the word.

How can i prevent this?

Cheers.

What is wrong with my question?

Like i said, i work with IE 6
I'm using javascript to work with a textarea.

My question, is if there is a way by using javascript, of correcting the double click, that selects the text like i said in the previous post.

Did the question bother you? Is the answer that simple?

Nothing. But you failed to spot the missing punctuation in Dan's reply:

That was funny, the things you can understand without punctuation.

Thanks.
