I am trying to select all the text with a <code> or HTML element. I have tried a lot of things but I think that jQuery .select() only works for input boxes.

jQuery('code').click(function () { jQuery(this).select(); // text should now be highlighted in the browser });

My HTML

<code>.alpha{}</code> <code>Some other code element on the page.</code> <blockquote>A famous quote</blockquote>

It should select and highlight the text

enter image description here
