If you are just trying to have placeholder text that gets replaced when a user selects the element then it is obviously best practice to use placeholder attribute nowadays. However, if you want to select all of the current value when a field gains focus then a combination of @Cory House and @Toastrackenigma answers seems to be most canonical. Use focus and focusout events, with handlers that set/release the current focus element, and select all when focused. An angular2/typescript example is as follows (but would be trivial to convert to vanilla js):

模板:

<input type="text" (focus)="focus()" (focusout)="focusout()" ... >

组件:

private focused = false;

public focusout = (): void => {
    this.focused = false;
};

public focus = (): void => {
    if(this.focused) return;
    this.focused = true;

    // Timeout for cross browser compatibility (Chrome)
    setTimeout(() => { document.execCommand('selectall', null, false); });
};

Try:

onclick="this.select()"

这对我来说很有效。

你可以替换

<input type="text" id="userid" name="userid" value="Please enter the user ID" />

:

<input type="text" id="userid" name="userid" placeholder="Please enter the user ID" />

占位符用来替换值，就像你希望人们能够在文本框中键入而无需多次单击或使用ctrl + a。占位符使它不是一个值，但顾名思义，它是一个占位符。这就是在许多在线表单中使用的“用户名在这里”或“电子邮件”，当你点击它时，“电子邮件”消失，你可以立即开始输入。

};

注意:当你考虑onclick="this.select()"时，在第一次点击时，所有字符都会被选中，之后可能你想在输入中编辑一些东西，然后再次点击字符，但它会再次选中所有字符。要解决这个问题，你应该使用onfocus而不是onclick。

<input id="my_input" style="width: 400px; height: 30px;" value="some text to select">

<button id="select-bn" style="width: 100px; height: 30px; margin-top: 20px;cursor:pointer;">Select all</button>

Click to copy

<input id="my_input_copy" style="width: 400px; height: 30px;" value="some text to select and copy">
<br>
<button id="select-bn-copy" style="width: 170px; height: 30px; margin-top: 20px;cursor:pointer;">Click copy text</button>


<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click', '#select-bn', function() {
  $("#my_input").select();
});


//click to select and copy to clipboard

var text_copy_bn = document.getElementById("select-bn-copy");
text_copy_bn.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
  var copy_text = document.getElementById("my_input_copy");
  copy_text.focus();
  copy_text.select();
  try {
    var works = document.execCommand('copy');
    var msg = works ? 'Text copied!' : 'Could not copy!';
    alert(msg);
  } catch (err) {
    alert('Sorry, could not copy');
  }
});
