Html Input onclick select text

When users click on an input with text already there, this is the easiest way to pre-select the text for them.

 <input  
  type="text"
  onclick="this.select()" 
 />
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Not too difficult except when trying to remember Angular conventions like (click), [(click)],(onClick) etc. No Angular needed...
