How To Programmatically Disable Auto-select On Elements?

Then the user uses TAB or SHIFT-TAB to 'jump' to a certain text-box and that text-box happens to have a value in it, then that value will be auto-selected. I would like to disable

Solution 1:

$(function() {
    $('input').bind('focus', function(e) {
       return false;
    });
});

Using jQuery 1.4.3+ you can use the shortcut version:

$(function() {
    $('input').bind('focus', false);
});
