<p><strong><code>select</code></strong> 이벤트는 어떤 텍스트가 선택되었을 때 발생됩니다.</p>

<table class="properties">
 <tbody>
  <tr>
   <th>Bubbles</th>
   <td>Yes</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <th>Cancelable</th>
   <td>No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <th>Interface</th>
   <td>유저 인터페이스로부터 발생된 경우 {{domxref("UIEvent")}}, 아니라면 {{domxref("Event")}}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <th>Event handler property</th>
   <td>{{domxref("GlobalEventHandlers.onselect", "onselect")}}</td>
  </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>

<p>The event is not available for all elements in all languages. For example, in HTML, <code>select</code> events can be dispatched only on form <code>{{HtmlElement('input/text', '&lt;input type="text"&gt;')}}</code> and {{HtmlElement("textarea")}} elements.</p>
