phpBB code for the select all:

<a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this); return false;">Select All</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function selectCode(a)
{
	// Get ID of code block
	var e = a.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('CODE')[0];

	// Not IE
	if (window.getSelection)
	{
		var s = window.getSelection();
		// Safari
		if (s.setBaseAndExtent)
		{
			s.setBaseAndExtent(e, 0, e, e.innerText.length - 1);
		}
		// Firefox and Opera
		else
		{
			// workaround for bug # 42885
			if (window.opera && e.innerHTML.substring(e.innerHTML.length - 4) == '<BR>')
			{
				e.innerHTML = e.innerHTML + '&nbsp;';
			}

			var r = document.createRange();
			r.selectNodeContents(e);
			s.removeAllRanges();
			s.addRange(r);
		}
	}
	// Some older browsers
	else if (document.getSelection)
	{
		var s = document.getSelection();
		var r = document.createRange();
		r.selectNodeContents(e);
		s.removeAllRanges();
		s.addRange(r);
	}
	// IE
	else if (document.selection)
	{
		var r = document.body.createTextRange();
		r.moveToElementText(e);
		r.select();
	}
}
//-->
</script>

There is a catch though, that code will select all text wrapped with <code></code> tags, which is how its used in proSilver based templates.

If you're going to use this, you'll need to modify the code a bit, or you can just create your own JS function, which would be easier/better than using phpBB's.

you do realize we are in the vbulletin section right. or will the code also work in vbulletin?

[dyear20]

i use it on vbulletn

[Curtis129]

you put that <script></script> in the header include template,
then add
<a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this); return false;">Select All</a>
where you want it.

So, I put all that in my Header? ..Sorry, but I didn't understand

[desiboy]

create a new file something_select_all.js >paste all the code> upload to your server
edit header_include template and call that js

You can call it from SHOWTHREAD template.
Dont need it on index, etc.

Does this actually work?

The code above didn't worked for me:
I used this:

Put this in your notepad and save it as selectall.js

function selectCode(a) 
{ 
   var e = a.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('PRE')[0]; 
   if (window.getSelection) 
   { 
      var s = window.getSelection(); 
       if (s.setBaseAndExtent) 
      { 
         s.setBaseAndExtent(e, 0, e, e.innerText.length - 1); 
      } 
      else 
      { 
         var r = document.createRange(); 
         r.selectNodeContents(e); 
         s.removeAllRanges(); 
         s.addRange(r); 
      } 
   } 
   else if (document.getSelection) 
   { 
      var s = document.getSelection(); 
      var r = document.createRange(); 
      r.selectNodeContents(e); 
      s.removeAllRanges(); 
      s.addRange(r); 
   } 
   else if (document.selection) 
   { 
      var r = document.body.createTextRange(); 
      r.moveToElementText(e); 
      r.select(); 
   }

- Upload selectall.js to /clientscripts
