    You may have more luck if you move the .select() line to AFTER the append() line. Also, try $(textarea).focus().select(); instead. This works for me in IE8 at least – don’t have IE9 handy.

    edit: My approach would be something like

    $(function(){
   var textarea = document.createElement('textarea');
   $(textarea).val("abc");
   $("body").append($(textarea));
   $(textarea).focus().select();
});
