Textarea not working in IE

works in firefox

[gameoverload]

I am currently implementing an "add this to your page" feature on my site. Each game has an external .js and iframe option. When you click in the textarea it should highlight all the code, in firefox both textarea's highlight, in IE only the iframe code does

<script type="text/javascript">
function SelectAll(id)
{
 document.getElementById(id).focus();
 document.getElementById(id).select();
}
</script>
<b><A NAME="help">help</A></b><br>
<b><A NAME="angular_momentum">Angular Momentum</A></b><br>
<A HREF="#help">Help With Embed Code</A><br>
<textarea id="angular_momentum" onClick="SelectAll('angular_momentum');" style="width:100%; height:20px;" >
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://-----.com/embed/angular_momentum.js"></script> 
</textarea><br>
<textarea id="angular_momentum_frame" onClick="SelectAll('angular_momentum_frame');" style="width:100%; height:20px;" >
<iframe src="http://-----.com/embed/frame/?game=angular_momentum" width="550px" height="440px"></iframe>
</textarea>
<b><A NAME="assembler">Assembler</A></b><br>
<A HREF="#help">Help With Embed Code</A><br>
<textarea id="assembler" onClick="SelectAll('assembler');" style="width:100%; height:20px;" >
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://-----.com/embed/assembler.js"></script> 
</textarea>
<textarea id="assembler_frame" onClick="SelectAll('assembler_frame');" style="width:100%; height:20px;" >
<iframe src="http://-----.com/embed/frame/?game=assembler" width="550px" height="400px"></iframe>
</textarea>

I have blocked out my site name with -----,

Any help is appreciated!

Hi gameoverload,

You should escape any tags inside the textarea tags:

<textarea id="angular_momentum_frame" onClick="SelectAll('angular_momentum_frame');" style="width:100%; height:20px;" >
&lt;iframe src="http://-----.com/embed/frame/?game=angular_momentum" width="550px" height="440px"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
</textarea>

Is there any other way to give code to my visitors if a textbox wont work?

Try looking into some of the JQuery plugins for copying data to the clipboard:
