[Javascript] Select in Text Area ?

[Peter Brunone]

Tim,

	Something like this should work for IE 4 and up:


function TextRangeSelect() {
	var r = document.formName.textAreaName.createTextRange();
	r.findText("fishes");
	r.select();
}

Is it possible to select a section of the text in a text area ?

For example, select 'fishes' in the following sentence 'Of all the
fishes in the sea, the mermaid is the one for me.'
