select()

[Golgotha]

trying to get it so any click on the textbox will select the entire text. What's wrong with this?

<script language="javascript">
function selectBox(f){
alert(f);
document.formhandheld.f.select();
}

<script>





<input type="text" value="testing" onClick="selectBox(this)">

I have marked the corrections. This works for me:

<script language="javascript">
function selectBox(f){
alert(f);
f.select();  
}
</script>

<input type="text" value="testing" onClick="selectBox(this)">

why that annoying alertbox? why not just make it select the text when clicked ?

function select(){
select();
}


onClick="select(this)"

or

function Select() {
document.formhandheld.select();
}

onClick="select(this)"

I’d wager the alert-box was put in for testing. It’s in his original source, so I guess he knows why it’s there.

yes he should know himself, but Im just curious
