Use the select method, ie

<html>
	<input name="txtBox" value="Hello, World!">
</html>
<script>
	txtBox.select()
</script>

Hi

How can I automatically select all the text in a text box if the user 
moves into it with a mouse click. What I want is the same effect that 
occurs if the user tabs there.

Thanks

Andy Green
