<input type="text" id="text-box" size="20" value="Hello world!" />
<button>Select text</button>
function selectText() {
const input = document.getElementById("text-box");
input.focus();
input.select();
}
document.querySelector("button").addEventListener("click", selectText);
Calling element.select() will not necessarily focus the input, so it is often used with HTMLElement.focus.
