I am trying to create something similar to my VB6 code below. I have a textbox that searches a database. once done I would like the entire text in the textbox highlited so all the user has to do is start typing over the current text.

how can I create something either in Java Script thats similar to what I have done in VB?


txtText.SelStart = 0
txtText.SelLength = Len(txtText.Text)

Thanks for your help
