<p>Upon page load I want to move the cursor to a particular field.  No problem.  But I also need to select and highlight the default value that is placed in that text field.</p>

From

:
```
```
var input = document.getElementById('myTextInput');
input.focus();
input.select();
```
```
```
```
<input id="myTextInput" value="Hello world!" />
```
```
