Upon page load I want to move the cursor to a particular field. No problem. But I also need to select and highlight the default value that is placed in that text field.
The HTMLInputElement. select() method selects all the text in a <textarea> element or in an <input> element that includes a text field.
To select the all text in an input field, we can use the e. target. select() method in react. Here is an example of a functional react component, that selects the text by clicking on the input field.
From http://www.codeave.com/javascript/code.asp?u_log=7004:
var input = document.getElementById('myTextInput'); input.focus(); input.select();
<input id="myTextInput" value="Hello world!" />
