Highlight input text not working

Hello I would like the text inside an input element to highlight upon initial click. However my function does not seem to be working. I have researched the issue and seen that there are some issues with jquery 1.7 and below. I have adjusted it to account for this any it still does not work.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
HTML
<input type="text" value="hello"/>
JS
$scope.highlightText = function() {
$("input[type='text']").on("click", function() {
$(this).select();
});

You need to actually call your method at the end of controller, otherwise the event is not bound.

... other code ...
$scope.highlightText = function () {
$("input[type='text']").on("click", function () {
$(this).select();
var test = $(this).parent();
console.log(test);
});
$("textarea").on("click", function () {
$(this).select();
});
};
$scope.highlightText();
};

To select the text inside an input you would simply call this.select() from onclick like shown below
<input type="text" onclick="this.select()" value="hello"/>

How to get the value of the text box using jQuery on keypress

I want a functionality that i will type some text on the textbox and the value will be picked up by the jquery and will be stored in some variable ,how to achieve that? i am using jquery bind function but it is not suiting my purpose .
This is my textbox
<aui:input inlineField="true" label="" name="interviewCC" id="interviewCC" size="45" value=""></aui:input>
and i am using this jQuery function
$("#interviewCC").bind("click", function () {
value = $("#interviewCC").val();
alert(value)
});
but it is not picking the value i want that when i will type something on the textbox that value will be picked up.Please somebody help.

The problem is that you listen to the 'click' event and not the 'keypress' event.
Try this:
$('#interviewCC').keypress( function(e) {
var value = $("#interviewCC").val();
alert(value)
});

Use
$("#interviewCC").keypress(function () {
value = $("#interviewCC").val();
alert(value);
});

You can use the jQuery function .keyup() which will figure out when a key has been pressed and then the press has finished.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input#text').keyup(function() {
$('.output').text($(this).val());
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="text" type="text" />
<div class="output"></div>

why changing input doesn't trigger on change event?

I am trying to get change value of input when its values are changed.
http://jsfiddle.net/stackmanoz/694W9/
$(function () {
$('.color-iris').iris();
$('#color').on('change', function () {
console.log($(this).val());
});
});
I am using color-picker and after the input's value has changed with the new color value, I want to get its value.
But this is not going well.
Please guide me through this

Use option change
$(function () {
$('.color-iris').iris({
change: function () {
console.log(this.value);
}
});
});
DEMO

Change event would be fired only when that textbox value changes as wel as focus is getting blurred out from the particular text box,so in this context you have to use input
$(function () {
$('.color-iris').iris();
$('#color').on('input', function () {
console.log($(this).val());
}) ;
});

Why does the jQuery file upload stop working after first upload?

I'm using the jQuery File Upload plugin. I'm hiding the file input and activating it upon clicking a separate button. (See this fiddle.)
HTML:
<div>
<button class="browse">Browse</button>
<input id="upload" type="file" style="display: none;" />
</div>
JavaScript:
var element = $("#upload");
$(".browse").click(function () {
$("#upload").trigger("click");
});
element.fileupload({
add: function () {
alert("add");
}
});
Notice that if you press the button then select a file, the add method is activated and you'll get an alert. Do it again, and you'll get another alert.
Now, see this fiddle. The only difference is that I've changed the following line
$("#upload").trigger("click");
to
element.trigger("click");
Notice that now, the first time you click the button then select a file, the add method is activated and you get the alert (just like before), but if you do it again, the add method never activates.
What is causing this difference in behavior?

This can also be solved by setting replaceFileInput to false, as stated by the documentation. This is because the plugin recreates the input element after each upload, and so events bound to the original input will be lost.

It looks as though the scope of element is being lost / changed after the add function. Resetting it like below seems to work.
var element = $("#upload");
$(".browse").click(function () {
element.trigger("click");
});
element.fileupload({
add: function () {
alert("add");
element = $(this);
}
});
Fiddle

Try this one: http://jsfiddle.net/xSAQN/6/
var input = $("#upload");
$(".browse").click(function () {
input.trigger("click", uploadit(input));
});
function uploadit(input){
$(input).fileupload({
add: function () {
alert("add");
}
});
}
Although there is one more way:
just change to this:
var element = $("#upload");
$(".browse").click(function () {
$("#upload").click(); // <----trigger the click this way
});
element.fileupload({
add: function () {
alert("add");
}
});

How to select value of input onClick?

I have a <input type="text"> and if user clicks inside it I want to make the content (value) of that box selected. How would I do that?

<input type="text" onclick="select()"/>

Try select method:
document.getElementById("myinput").onclick = function() {
this.select();
};

You can try following code inside a javaScript method, and call the method onClick event of the textbox...
function calledOnClick(){
document.getElementById('test').select();
}

You can try following jQuery code which automatically call on page load
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input').each(function(){
$(this).click(function() {
this.select();
});
});
$("#return_date").focus();
});
</script>
