Select Text

[shield]

I have the following in a page:


<div id="text">
This is the text contents
</div>

What I want is a link which when it is clicked the contents of that div are selected/highlighted...

How can this be done?

Thanks

Why not use a text box?

Because I dont want to use a text box ;)

That would be way too easy ;)

I want it to selectd the contents of a div so I can use it on actual page content where theye could be quite a lot of - I dont want to have a textbox filling up the entire page just so it can be selected...

I don't think it is possible to maniplulate selections outside of form elements.
