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); });
};

我正在寻找一个css唯一的解决方案，发现这适用于iOS浏览器(测试safari和chrome)。

它在桌面chrome上没有相同的行为，但选择的痛苦没有那么大，因为作为用户，你有更多的选项(双击，ctrl-a等):

.select-all-on-touch {
    -webkit-user-select: all;
    user-select: all;
}

以下是Shoban回答的可重复使用版本:

<input type="text" id="userid" name="userid"
 value="Please enter the user ID" onfocus="Clear(this);"
/>

function Clear(elem)
{
elem.value='';
}

这样就可以为多个元素重用clear脚本。

这是一个正常的文本框活动。

单击“1 -设置焦点”

点击2/3(双击)-选择文本

您可以在页面第一次加载时将焦点设置在文本框上，以减少“选择”为单个双击事件。

在我看来，列出的答案是不完整的。我在下面链接了两个如何在Angular和JQuery中做到这一点的例子。

该方案具有以下特点:

适用于所有支持JQuery, Safari, Chrome, IE, Firefox等浏览器。 适用于Phonegap/Cordova: Android和IOs。 只选择所有一次输入得到焦点，直到下一个模糊，然后焦点 可以使用多个输入，而且不会出现故障。 Angular指令有很好的重用性，只需添加指令select-all-on-click即可 JQuery可以很容易地修改

$("input").blur(function() {
  if ($(this).attr("data-selected-all")) {
  //Remove atribute to allow select all again on focus        
  $(this).removeAttr("data-selected-all");
  }
});

$("input").click(function() {
  if (!$(this).attr("data-selected-all")) {
    try {
      $(this).selectionStart = 0;
      $(this).selectionEnd = $(this).value.length + 1;
      //add atribute allowing normal selecting post focus
      $(this).attr("data-selected-all", true);
    } catch (err) {
      $(this).select();
      //add atribute allowing normal selecting post focus
      $(this).attr("data-selected-all", true);
    }
  }
});

var app = angular.module('app', []);
//add select-all-on-click to any input to use directive
app.directive('selectAllOnClick', [function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
      var hasSelectedAll = false;
      element.on('click', function($event) {
        if (!hasSelectedAll) {
          try {
            //iOS, Safari, thows exception on Chrome etc
            this.selectionStart = 0;
            this.selectionEnd = this.value.length + 1;
            hasSelectedAll = true;
          } catch (err) {
            //Non iOS option if not supported, e.g. Chrome
            this.select();
            hasSelectedAll = true;
          }
        }
      });
      //On blur reset hasSelectedAll to allow full select
      element.on('blur', function($event) {
        hasSelectedAll = false;
      });
    }
  };
}]);

我认为通过事件来控制更好。这个变体看起来很直观，也适用于ts:

    onFocus={e => {
      e.target.select();
    }

如果你每次点击都需要selectAll，你可以使用这个:

    onClick={e => {
      e.target.focus();
      e.target.select();
    }
