OK, here's the situation: I have a page of HTML that has been hit by spammers exploiting the form tag.

The affected pages have 10,000 lines of porn spam which I need to delete. There is HTML at the top and the bottom of the page to preserve.

It takes a very long time to scroll 10,000 lines of HTML to delete.

It would be much quicker to "select all" and then de-select the header, footer and legitimate content.

Can this be done?

Yes, it can be done easily, just not with the method you want to do it.

Scroll to the top of the page. Click to place the insertion point after the content you want to preserve, and just before the content you want to delete.

Scroll to the bottom of the page. (Using the scrollbar, or by hitting the end key, this will be instantaneous.)

Holding down the shift key, click at the end of the content you want to delete.
