This is a followup question to this question:
select all contents of textbox when it receives focus (Javascript or jQuery)
Basically I am using a textbox in conjunction with the jQuery masked input plugin(Edit: Link may no longer point at relevant version)
When the masked input textbox receives focus I want to select all of the contents of that textbox, but it seems as though having this plugin binded to the textbox prevents that. I was just wondering if there was a way around this.
Below is a sample .html page that demonstrates the issue:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<input id="masktest" type="text" value="01/01/2009" />
<br />
<input id="focustest" type="text" value="on focus will select all contents..." />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jquery-joshbush.googlecode.com/files/jquery.maskedinput-1.2.1.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#masktest").mask("99/99/9999");
// Contents of textboxes will be selected when receiving focus.
$("input[type=text]")
.focus(function() {
$(this).select();
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

I'm the author of the Masked Input Plugin for jQuery. I decided that this should be the default behavior for completed masks and I got it into the latest release. You can read the details here

Hey Jon, not too sure about the performance of this, but this should work:
$(function() {
// Contents of textboxes will be selected when receiving focus.
$("input[type=text]")
.focus(function() {
var mask = "99/99/9999";
$(this).unmask(mask).select().mask(mask);
});
});
