"Selelct all" by code instead of using context menu

[lelo66]

Hi

On a webpage I fill some text from a database in a textbox.
Now I should "select all" the text in that textbox by code; like the user can do this using the context menu.

Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks
Lelo

Ask in the javascript forum as you'll have to do this client side, not server side.

You'd probably do that with some JavaScript.

I found this, but haven't tested it

javascript:this.form.text_area.focus();this.form.text_area.select();
