This doesn't seem to happen, the object gets focus, but the contents are not selected. Example code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function selText() { document.getElementById("myText").select() } </script> </head> <body> <form> <input size="40" type="text" id="myText" value="A cat played with a ball in the garden"> <input type="button" value="Select text" onclick="selText()"> </form> </body> </html> 38221 1 7450 ddkilzer 2006-04-01 15:51:03 -0800 Created attachment 7450 Test from Comment #0 38222 2 ddkilzer 2006-04-01 15:52:13 -0800 Confirmed on Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.2) on Mac OS X 10.4.5 (8H14). 38223 3 ddkilzer 2006-04-01 15:54:01 -0800 However, this bug has been fixed on ToT as of (at least) r13607 (built locally). Therefore, closing as RESOLVED/FIXED. 38412 4 jason 2006-04-03 12:50:19 -0700 Okay, one behavior is fixed, however it still fails in another example. If the textfield element is clicked to obtain focus or the event is set on the onClick (or indirectly the onFocus fired by a click derived focus event) handler the text is selected then the cursor steals the select behavior and the text is no longer selected. Example code 2: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function selText() { document.getElementById("myText").select() } </script> </head> <body> <form> <input size="40" type="text" id="myText" value="A cat played with a ball in the garden" onclick="selText()"> </form> </body> </html> 9671 5 emark2k 2007-05-18 10:27:18 -0700 I've looked for an appropriate place to put this, and not sure if it merits a separate thread so I'll start here as they may be related: sometimes, when I open a new Firefox window after using it for a while (still w/ tons of free real memory and now pageouts on a 2 GB RAM machine) I am unable to hit the TAB key to select and enter text into the Search Engine entry area. There is a greyed-out indicator of the Search Engine default in the area that is supposed to dissapear when the cursor gets there. Instead the word "Google" in this case remains and the subsequent typing/text entry ends up being appended to the word Google, then you can't enter. Trying Cmd-A for "select all" in os x, or trying deleting all the text doesn't work either....after entering the text the Enter key is still not functional. Closing the window and opening another doesn't usually help...when it gets to this state you need to quit and restart... I've reached this problem several times, but it is infrequent and not easy to test for someone of my skill level/background. 9620 6 ddkilzer 2007-05-18 23:17:30 -0700 (In reply to comment #5) > I've looked for an appropriate place to put this, and not sure if it merits a > separate thread so I'll start here as they may be related: > > sometimes, when I open a new Firefox window after using it for a while (still > w/ tons of free real memory and now pageouts on a 2 GB RAM machine) I am unable > to hit the TAB key to select and enter text into the Search Engine entry area. Mark, if this is really a Firefox bug, you want to use: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ I suggest using this page to create a new bug (after you create an account): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi Please note that http://bugs.webkit.org/ is for Apple's Safari web browser.
