Note: .select() is a jQuery function.
This method is a shortcut for
.bind('select', handler)in the first two variations, and.trigger('select')in the third.The select event is sent to an element when the user makes a text selection inside it. This event is limited to
<input type="text">fields and<textarea>boxes.
