Event.SELECT
Description
The SELECT property of the Event object is used by text objects and select-box form elements to indicate when an element is selected by the user.
Example
Listing 7.237 shows how the SELECT event can be used to determine which form object has been selected. When some text in the textarea is selected, the SELECT event is invoked. The document will then capture the event and call the handleSelect() function, which informs the user that the SELECT event occurred.
