This seems like it should be easily solved, but I keep running into an
issue so I was hoping I could get some fresh ideas from you guys.

I want to have default text in a TextField, and when a user clicks
into it I want all of the text to be selected as if it was tabbed
into.

I currently have added an onSetFocus method to the TextField which in
turn calls a setInterval for another method called "selectText". The
selectText method calls Selection.setSelection (0, field.text.length);

Now this works wonderfully if you click to the right of the text, but
if you click in the middle of the text, when the mouse lets up the
text that is selected is 0 to the caret index.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this?

Thanks in advance,

- markW
