Autoselect on form click??

I've seen a lot of websites use forms (for example with code) that when you click on them the text is automatically selected and copied. Is anyone familiar with how you can get a HTML form to do that?

better post the link.

I think javascript does that.

Use;

Code:

javascript:document.formname.inputname.focus();document.formname.inputname.select()

In an onclick event

I'll give it a try. Thanks, that seems to be what I was after.
