I have a <*textarea*> question?

Question

Im trying to make a scrollable text box where people can select the text and copy.

I used:
<*textarea*>*my info here I want in the box*<*/textarea*>

I did it like that minus the * and it worked fine except it wont let anyone select the text with their mouse unless they right click. What do I need to do differently?

Thanks!

Answer 1

try using this code here and see if it makes any difference. It should allow you to select the text using your mouse ie hold down left mouse button and drag

sdfsdf sdfsdf sdfsdfsdf sd fsdfsd fsdf sdfasdf sdf sdf <br />

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You could also put the text as a separate file and load that as the src of an iframe, or you could put the info inside of a div and style the div to look like a text area if that is the design you are wanting.

Answer 3

That's how most things are done in Windows...

left click, hold down the left mouse button to select text, then press "CTRL+C" or right click and choose "copy" to copy the selection.

What were you hoping to do?
