Our scenario: We do have a webdropdown on a page with autocomplete enabled. When the user tabs into the control, the text is selected and he can start overwriting it. When he clicks the control, the text is selected for some miliseconds, but then automatically gets deselected and the cursor starts to blink.

So the user can't start to type immediately. Instead he has to select or clear the text manualy before.

As we weren't able to find something in the help, we came up with the following solution to this problem:

$(document).ready(function(){

   $('.igdd_ValueDisplay').click(function(){
       this.select();
    });
});

My question is: Is there a better way? Maybe a property that I can set on the server side?

Thanks,

Andre
