Select all in a textbox
-
I have created a textbox and would like to be able to select all the text in the box ONLY and copy it but I cant figure out the code to do that and my hosting is with wordpress so I cant use plugins.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Would you mind explaining where you created this textbox and what you are trying to do with it?
If you are trying to select all the writing in a text box, then copy the information inside, you can use the Select All keyboard shortcut (CTRL+A in Windows, COMMAND+A in OSx) then copy using the Copy keyboard shortcut (CTRL+C in Windows, COMMAND+C in OSx). Paste wherever you need that text next.

the main page has pic, if you click the pic it takes you to a textbox . The textbox contains code to be copied for a canasta league tour page. I want the person to be able to select all in the textbox and not the entire page.
the page is islandgetawaycanasta.wordpress.com -
Ah, I see what you’re saying now.
The reason that this is not working on your site is because you’re using a styled series of <div> tags rather than a <textarea> – which makes sense because form elements are stripped from the page. See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
Instead of worrying about textareas and styled divs, you could try using the Source Code method! http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/
You would take the content you’ve been trying to put into a textarea and write it something like this:
[code language="html"]
<embedded HTML code here>
[/code]It may not be exactly what you were going for but should at least offer you a stylistic way to offer a cleaner copy & paste situation.
