以下是Shoban回答的可重复使用版本:

<input type="text" id="userid" name="userid"
 value="Please enter the user ID" onfocus="Clear(this);"
/>

function Clear(elem)
{
elem.value='';
}

这样就可以为多个元素重用clear脚本。

现场演示

<input id="my_input" style="width: 400px; height: 30px;" value="some text to select">
<br>
<button id="select-bn" style="width: 100px; height: 30px; margin-top: 20px;cursor:pointer;">Select all</button>
<br><br>
OR 
<br><br>
Click to copy
<br><br>
<input id="my_input_copy" style="width: 400px; height: 30px;" value="some text to select and copy">
<br>
<button id="select-bn-copy" style="width: 170px; height: 30px; margin-top: 20px;cursor:pointer;">Click copy text</button>


<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click', '#select-bn', function() {
  $("#my_input").select();
});


//click to select and copy to clipboard

var text_copy_bn = document.getElementById("select-bn-copy");
text_copy_bn.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
  var copy_text = document.getElementById("my_input_copy");
  copy_text.focus();
  copy_text.select();
  try {
    var works = document.execCommand('copy');
    var msg = works ? 'Text copied!' : 'Could not copy!';
    alert(msg);
  } catch (err) {
    alert('Sorry, could not copy');
  }
});
</script>

If you are just trying to have placeholder text that gets replaced when a user selects the element then it is obviously best practice to use placeholder attribute nowadays. However, if you want to select all of the current value when a field gains focus then a combination of @Cory House and @Toastrackenigma answers seems to be most canonical. Use focus and focusout events, with handlers that set/release the current focus element, and select all when focused. An angular2/typescript example is as follows (but would be trivial to convert to vanilla js):

模板:

<input type="text" (focus)="focus()" (focusout)="focusout()" ... >

组件:

private focused = false;

public focusout = (): void => {
    this.focused = false;
};

public focus = (): void => {
    if(this.focused) return;
    this.focused = true;

    // Timeout for cross browser compatibility (Chrome)
    setTimeout(() => { document.execCommand('selectall', null, false); });
};

这是一个正常的文本框活动。

单击“1 -设置焦点”

点击2/3(双击)-选择文本

您可以在页面第一次加载时将焦点设置在文本框上，以减少“选择”为单个双击事件。

实际上，可以使用onclick="this.select();"，但记住不要将其与disabled="disabled"结合使用——这样就不能工作了，你仍然需要手动选择或多点点击来选择。如果希望锁定要选择的内容值，请结合属性readonly。
