How can you get the contents of a text box to automatically highlight when the user clicks anywhere in the text box?

Thanks much! :)

Hi,

Are you looking for this?

<input type="text" value="Click on me" onclick="this.select()">

This is to select contents of textbox. If you just want to change color, then you can use vwphilips code. Its a nice one.
