If you want to select text inside some element, you can use Ranges. The code below should work with Firefox and Opera and Chrome. Another story is IE. For this browser you will have to create new TextRange object and use its methods moveToElementText and select.

var content = document.getElementById('content');
var selection = window.getSelection();
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(content);
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange(range);
content.focus()

The code below is for IE

var content = document.getElementById('content');
var rng = document.body.createTextRange();
rng.moveToElementText(content);
rng.select();
content.focus()

Hope this helps.

Well, you are almost there :)

  $('#box').focus(function()
           {
                $('#content', this).select();

           });
