How to Highlight a Table (to copy and paste)

[John]

var tmpelem;
tmpelem=document.getElementById("MyTableId");
tmpelem.select();

doesnt work - any ideas how I can get around this? I only want to
highlight the table and all child nodes.

Thanks!

select() method is used for selecting text nodes, text only. select() is
supported for textarea and input type="text" only.

Depending on what exactly you are trying to do, it could be possible to
select the content of a table and do some defined operations on the such
content (and/or structure) of the table. For now you need to explicit
and detail what is it you want to do exactly.
