Select All Code

In our posts we generally add the code. After it is posted when we want to select the code, we drag our mouse & select it, so its kinda a pain to do it when the code is very long.

As we have seen in many phpbb boards they have the options near that code: Select All.

I think forumotion can also add such a feature. Just hit Select All, all code gets selected. Then we can copy it using ctrl+v

Nice idea

I voted Yes

You can push ctrl+a to select all also. It doesn't matter to me since I always use ctrl+a

I usually right click and click select all myself. And occasionally use Mario's way as well.

What do you mean? Once the code is posted if you hit ctrl+a it selects everything on the page. Not just the code.

Oh you are talking about the post. I thought you said something about when you are posting in the reply box.

My bad, i was talking about after you post it.

Sorry I made the same mistake. Misunderstood and was following suit from what Mario said. BAD Mario....I blame him!! He confused me! lol

lol Skittles, i have edited my post to make it more clear

i voted yes is a useful option !

Someone made this poll too before

I vote yes

Here's a simple code that would do it:

Code:

<script language="Javascript">
//Editable CSS
document.write('<style>.codeluapak</style>') ;

// auto copied to clipboard, set to [0=no, 1=yes]
var luapak=1

// No need to edit below
function highlightLuapak(dempv) {
var tempval=eval("document."+dempv)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
if (document.all&&luapak==1){
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Copy")
window.status="Contents highlighted and copied to clipboard!"
setTimeout("window.status=''",1800)
}
}
//-->
</script>

<a class="codeluapak" title="Clicking this will highlight the text in the box." href="javascript:highlightLuapak('code.select1')"><b>Select All</b></a>

Voted yes, as ForuMotion would get irritated when trying to copy the code I just pasted

Clug , the code didn't work

Yes!

I know exactly what you suggest, and yeah, sometimes when you have a long code, it makes difficult to select all manually with mouse, and sometimes you miss part of code, so this would be very helpfull, and Ive seen that SMF have it (don´t remember if pure Phpb's have it, but I guess so)

You defo have my Vote for this one

Well i made this code hope it works. to try it just make a new HTML page put it there and click preview.
it works find to me. but you can modify it.

Code:

<form>
<p class="copy"><font color="#ff0000"><input onclick="javascript:this.form.txt.focus();this.form.txt.select();" value="Select code" class="button" type="button">

</font></p><p><textarea rows="9" cols="15" name="txt" class="seealso">

</textarea></p></form>
