Select All Text In A Form Field On Click

Hi, I have made a script which generates a BBcode when you run it, and displays it in a text field, like this:
CODE
<input type="text" name="bbcode" size="81" value="[IMG]<?php echo $url; ?>[/IMG]">

Well, anyway, I want something that selects all the text in that form field when you click on it, like it does in ImageShack when you upload...

Looking at the Imageshack site, this is the way you could do it for your site.

Set up a function in between the <head> </head> tags of your page like this.
CODE
<script language="JavaScript">
function highlight(field) {
       field.focus();
       field.select();
}</script>


And then for each field that you want to select all the text in when clicked, add this 'onClick' action.

CODE
<input type="text" name="bbcode" size="81" value="[IMG]<?php echo $url; ?>[/IMG]" onClick='highlight(this);'>


Hope that helps. smile.gif
