Hi Sir. Mayo,

Try this in your CSS and see if it works:

Code:

.code-a{
float:right;
}

Nope nothing i installed it VIA Java script so yea i mean i tried lots of differnet things in CSS but nothing SO thanks but its not working :(BASE is the one who made the Tutorial so maybe he knows IDK though!

Code:

.code-a {
    float: right !important;
    }

If this does not work, add it to the top of your CSS Stylesheet.

I added to the top and still nothing!

Since that doesn't work for you I've gone ahead and did what the support forum did; utilize dashes(-) to separate.

Code:

function selectCode(a)
        {
          // Get ID of code block
          var e = a.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('CODE')[0];
      
         // Not IE
          if (window.getSelection)
          {
              var s = window.getSelection();
              // Safari
              if (s.setBaseAndExtent)
              {
                s.setBaseAndExtent(e, 0, e, e.innerText.length - 1);
              }
              // Firefox and Opera
              else
              {
                // workaround for bug # 42885
                if (window.opera && e.innerHTML.substring(e.innerHTML.length - 4) == '<BR>')
                {
                    e.innerHTML = e.innerHTML + ' ';
                }
      
               var r = document.createRange();
                r.selectNodeContents(e);
                s.removeAllRanges();
                s.addRange(r);
              }
          }
          // Some older browsers
          else if (document.getSelection)
          {
              var s = document.getSelection();
              var r = document.createRange();
              r.selectNodeContents(e);
              s.removeAllRanges();
              s.addRange(r);
          }
          // IE
          else if (document.selection)
          {
              var r = document.body.createTextRange();
              r.moveToElementText(e);
              r.select();
          }
        }
        if(text){}else{ var text = 'Selecionar todos';}
        jQuery(document).ready(function(){
          jQuery("dl.codebox dt").not("dl.spoiler > dt").html('Code: <font style="color:transparent;">----------</font><a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this); return false;" title="Select all the content" class="code-a"> Select Content </a>');
        });

Edit the color and amount of dashes to fit what you want.

<font style="color:transparent;">----------</font> (its near the bottom of the script)

Seth your code did not work but i read over it and the one in the tutorial and came up with this one that does the trick:

Code:

function selectCode(a)


        {


        // Get ID of code block


        var e = jQuery(a).closest('tr').next().find('.cont_code')[0];





        // Not IE


        if (window.getSelection)


        {


        var s = window.getSelection();


        // Safari


        if (s.setBaseAndExtent)


        {


        s.setBaseAndExtent(e, 0, e, e.innerText.length - 1);


        }


        // Firefox and Opera


        else


        {


        // workaround for bug # 42885


        if (window.opera && e.innerHTML.substring(e.innerHTML.length - 4) == '<BR>')


        {


        e.innerHTML = e.innerHTML + ' ';


        }





        var r = document.createRange();


        r.selectNodeContents(e);


        s.removeAllRanges();


        s.addRange(r);


        }


        }


        // Some older browsers


        else if (document.getSelection)


        {


        var s = document.getSelection();


        var r = document.createRange();


        r.selectNodeContents(e);


        s.removeAllRanges();


        s.addRange(r);


        }


        // IE


        else if (document.selection)


        {


        var r = document.body.createTextRange();


        r.moveToElementText(e);


        r.select();


        }


        }


        jQuery(function(){





        jQuery('div.postbody td.code').parent().prev().find('b').html('Code:


        <a href="javascript:void()" onClick="selectCode(this)"><font


        face="verdana" color="transparent">---------------</font>Select Content </a>');


        });

i changed the font color to transparent then added the dashed like they where in your Code thanks everyone! SOLVED

Ah, okay you're welcome. You might want to place the dashes before <a> so they will not be underlined when you hover over select if you want.
