How can one select everything that is in a text field when they click inside the field?

Secondly, how can one make a specific text field the default field when a form (screen) loads?

Thanks

@mreade,

Can you share more details about what you’re trying to do?
And what do you mean with make a textfield default?

[mreade]

Let us say that I have FormA.mobi. After it loads, there are three text fields where users will be able to type in numbers/text.

What I am looking to do is:

1.

After the form loads, I would like for field1 to have focus, or have the cursor in that field by default.

2.

After information is typed in the fields, let us say that I would like to select/highlight all of the text in field 2, when I click/point in that field.

Currently, when I point in a field which already has information, the cursor goes to the end of the field.

I hope this makes sense?

Thanks

Mike

I was thinking about this:

> I would like for field1 to have focus, or have the cursor in that field by default.

This sounds like a desktop-based UI. I’m confused because we are talking about a mobile/touch UI. So the user will click into a field he wishes to begin editing in. Are you seeking to have a field selected by default with the keyboard preopened or something like that?

Yes, when a screen loads have the first field automatically selected to enter data.

And, when you touch a field which already has a value in it, select/highlight everything in the field rather than back space to change the value.

Did you ever figure this out? I would like to do this too.
