Drag and drop functionality 1

[dpdoug]

All I need to do is: In a javascript function I need to select the text in the control on the onclick event.

The reason I want to do this is that I can take advantage of the windows defualt drag and drop functionality.

The user will left-click and hold down the desired data item which will select the text.

She will "drag" it to the desired destination and release the mouse button ("drop") causing the data to paste into the textbox under the pointer.

if all you want to do is select the text when they click a text box is the following

<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name="text1" value="asdf" onClick="document.form1.text1.select();">
</form>

The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents.

Maybe onfocus would be better in case they tab into the field.
