| WebViewerRef | Either the Web Viewer Object Name or the Web Viewer ID as returned by "[WebView.FindByName](WebViewFindByName.md)" function. |  |

### Result

Returns OK or error.

### Description

Selects all text in web viewer.  
This is like choosing the menu command to select all, but without using the menu.  
  
As WebViewer functions often run asynchronously, you need to make a short script pause to let the WebViewer do the job.  
### Examples

Select all and copy:

 MBS ( "Webview.SelectAll"; "web" ) & MBS ( "[WebView.Copy](WebViewCopy.md)"; "web" )
