class method Form.Element.select
Form.Element.select(element) → Element
Selects the current text in a text input. Returns the element.
Example
Some search boxes are set up so that they auto-select their content when they receive focus.
$('searchbox').onfocus = function() {
Form.Element.select(this)
// You can also rely on the native method, but this will NOT return the element!
this.select()
}
Focusing + selecting: use Form.Element.activate
!
The Form.Element.activate
method is a nifty way to both focus a form
field and select its current text, all in one portable JavaScript call.
