| JAVASCRIPT ONSELECT EVENT
The javascript onselect event handler is used to trigger a script or action when a user selects some text in a text field. The onselect event calls the action from the <input> or <textarea> element.
Example:
<form action="#" method="post" >
<textarea onselect="alert('You have selected some text');"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit" >
</form>
The above example will output You have selected some text when you select text.
The onselect event can also call a function as follows:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function selectme ()
{
alert('You have selected some text');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#" method="post" >
<textarea onselect="selectme();"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit" >
</form>
DEMO:
Enter some text and then select it in the form below to see the effect.
