That's correct. When I Click on "New Message", that is; I could do it if I Replied to a Post.
Hi Floating_Red,
When switching to "Edit As HTML", the cursor should return to the very beginning of the code (text).
Use "Ctrl A" to select all and the entire code should then be highlighted.
Then use "Ctrl C" to copy it as HTML.
Does that help?
Hi, Phil_D,
Yep, that works; wonder why, once you Click on "Edit As HTML", you cannot Select the Text when Clicking on "New Message" using the Mouse...

I'm confused.
When you click "Edit as HTML" that means you are either already editing a "New Message" or a "Reply". The new messages button won't be on the screen to press at that point, nor do I understand why you would if already editing.
FYI - I just tested and I can select text in the "Edit as HTML" window at least 3 differnt ways, All (using ctrl-a), with the keyboard (holding shift) and with the mouse. No problems found on my end.

Anyway, it's when I Click on the "New Message" in the Board, type something, Click "Edit As HTML" and then try to Highlight the Text with my Mouse that doesn't work.
Seems to work fine for myself. I click ‘New Message’, then write something, click ‘Edit As HTML’ and highlight the text with my mouse just fine.

I'll add it the the list of possible IE8 issues.
Thanks.
It's getting to be a long list...
Be good when it's fine tuned.
Thanks Allen
Allen_K -
In some, if not all systems, the cursor is not carried over into the HTML screen so until you type something the mouse, or just the keyboard, will not let you select text.
For what it’s worth: I’m running IE8 and don’t have any problem copying text while in “Edit As HTML.”
