Hello,<br><br>Can anyone tell me how to select(highlight) text in a textbox? In my asp, when the submit button is clicked I verify that a value in a textbox is between 100 and 999,999. If the number is less than 1000 I use a MsgBox to ask the user if this is correct info. If they click "No" button then I set focus to the box. I want to be able to highlight what is there. Does anyone have any code they are willing to share to accomplish this? <br><br>Thanks in advance!<br>
