ADF 11g: inputText - mark the hole text when move into text field

Question

Hallo,
is it possible to change the behavior of a inputText component in a way that the hole text is marked when changing the focus to this component? In the standard case the cursor is on the left-aligned position of the inputText. The goal would be to achieve a quick-edit mode with an overwriting of the old value.
Thanks for any advice
regards
Markus

Hi Markus,
It seems passing parameter to javascript method is not supported in adf or I may not know the way,
However, I made below changes to the code provided, it selects the text on clicking on the inputtext but doesn't keep the selection, not sure whether this is a bug:
         <af:inputText ... clientComponent="true" id="it1">
                      <af:clientListener method="selectText" type="focus"/>
         </af:inputText>
            function selectText(){ 
                var it = document.getElementById("<parent-id>:it1::content");
                it.select();
            }You can use standard jsf h:inputText component for time being, I will reply once I found solution to use it with adf inputText component:
     <h:inputText ... onfocus="selectText(this)"/>
     function selectText(it){
          it.select();
