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>
