title: Select all text in a textbox Selenium RC using Ctrl + A
body: <p>I am trying to select all the text in a textbox in order to clear the textbox. I am using Ctrl+A to do this using the following Python 2.7 code on Selenium RC standalone 2.20.0.jar Server on Windows 7 firefox:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import selenium
  s = selenium('remote-machine-ip', 4444, '*chrome', 'http://my-website-with-textbox')
  locator = 'mylocator-of-textbox'
  s.open()
  s.type(locator, 'mytext')
  s.focus(locator)
  s.control_key_down()
  s.key_down(locator, "A")
  s.key_press(locator, "A")
  s.key_up(locator, "A")
  s.control_key_up()
  
  # Nothing happens here... I cannot see the text getting selected...
  
  # Nothing gets cleared here except the last char
  s.key_down(locator, chr(8))  # Pressing backspace
  s.key_press(locator, chr(8))
  s.key_up(locator, chr(8))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help?
  Thanks,
  Amit</p>
