I have an HTML question.

I have two boxes on a page and plan to add a few more.

The first box contains a block of HTML code and a SELECT ALL button at the bottom, using this line of cide:


It works fine.

My second box has a similar line of code:


But when I click THAT one, it still selects the cide in my FIRST box. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi Gin, you might want to give your text boxes a different name or use the textarea html tag instead. I never used it myself before but this site shows you how to use it:

It will basically be using a specific name that you can reference it to so the selection only applies to the text you want.

Assuming that your first SELECT ALL button selects all the text inside an input box or textarea named code and that your second SELECT ALL button selects all the text inside an another input box or textarea named code2 simply change the name of the second box in your code like this:



Best regards,

Aha! you're seeing something that I didn't. I'll give that a look.

Thanks.

Yes, that's it. THANKS!

You are welcome, BTW, if you plan to include more boxes i think that a good option is to create a simple javascript function that receives the name of the input box or textarea as a parameter of it. This function will be very generic and could be used in any page that you need this functionality.

Let me know if you want it and you don't know how to do code it to give you a hand.
