Selecting entire contents of Field

Featured Replies

When editing field data from a web browser the entire contents of the field are not selected when you click on a field or tab from field to field. With instant web publishing how do you select the entire contents of a field? I have the option check marked in the field inspector select entire contents on entry. When you are using filemaker to access the database when you click on a field the entire contents are selected, when you switch to a web browser to access the database you just get a cursor bar flashing at the end of the field. I have not been able to figure it out. How do you do it?

That's the way the web works.

IWP is just doing it's best to replicate FileMaker-like behaviour but in the web paradigm - and fields in forms are not fully selected when clicked on. Try double pr triple clicking to select the entire field, like other web forms...
