           Summary: select method doesn't highlight text field contents
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 417.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: jason at bakafish.com

object.select() should highlight and select the contents of the (text field)
object according to the DOM. This doesn't seem to happen, the object gets
focus, but the contents are not selected.

Example code:

<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">
   <input type="button" value="Select text" onclick="selText()"> 
</form>
</body>

</html>
