Select Function

Hello,

I have seen the select function used on forms fields, and it
usually takes place immediately after a setfocus call is made.
However, after adding the code to a test page, I don't see what it
does. Can anyone tell me what exactly it does?

Thanks,
Attila

IT selects the contents of the field...

Compare Test 2 and Test 5: http://dorward.me.uk/www/ph/test.html

If the field contains any text, the text is selected. That is,
it appears highlighted, and typing in that field will replace
the current contents. If your test page has empty fields, you
won't see anything, because there is no text to select.

That helps. Thanks for the responses!

Hi all I have a script where I dynamically create multiple inputs and selects from a script. The inputs and selects must have an associated onchange handler. I have the script working fine on Firefox, Safari and Konqueror, but the onchange event just doesn't fire on IE6. Firefox's javascript console shows no errors, and the IE script debugger shows nothing. onchange is not triggered.

I'm relatively new to javascript, and I'm trying to decide whether the following (and if so, clues on how to do it): I'd like to create two HTML multiple-select boxes.

By clicking a category in the 2nd box, the members of that category (from the first box) would be highlighted (indicated here by arrows). E.g., -- List of Nums -- -- Categories -- 1...
