I found this nifty little form select all script but..

[Cleo]

Doesn't work in Safari or Mozilla on a Mac, didn't try IE. The page that Amber posted does work on my Mac.

Command A, then Command C works always. On a Mac the Command key does what the Control key does on a PC. The Control key is the right mouse button on a Mac. I use a two button mouse with a scroll wheel so I never use the Control key unless I'm using the track pad that is built-in to my laptop.

Ok, I think this is what you want:

Leave the Javascript untouched:
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function selectAll(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
}
//-->
</script>

But....edit these lines for each successive recip:
<form name="recip">
<a href="javascript:selectAll('recip.select1')">Select All</a>
<textarea name="select1" rows=5 cols=20>

The form name must be different for each recip. Make sure the name you give it in 'form name=recip' is the same name you give it in the 'selectAll('recip.select1')' portion of the code.

Then, give each recip a distinct 'select' name. The name given here 'selectAll('recip.select1')' must match the name given in the textarea, such as '<textarea name="select1" rows=5 cols=20>'

The simplest way would be to number them like this:
<form name="recip2">
<a href="javascript:selectAll('recip2.select2')">Select All</a>
<textarea name="select2" rows=5 cols=20>
and
<form name="recip3">
<a href="javascript:selectAll('recip3.select3')">Select All</a>
<textarea name="select3" rows=5 cols=20>

But you should be able to name them per category:
<form name="anal">
<a href="javascript:selectAll('anal.selectanal')">Select All</a>
<textarea name="selectanal" rows=5 cols=20>

Just make sure you give each recip distinct variables.
