I have a form with a text box and a button:\[code\]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><title></title></head><body><p><textarea rows="4" cols="30">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</textarea></p><p><input type="button" value="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15523667/Click me"></p></body></html>\[/code\]The user makes a text selection, then clicks on the button. As textarea loses focus, selection is no longer visible.Is there a way to make the selection remain visible? It doesn't need to be usable (i.e., there's no need that e.g. typing removes the selection or Ctrl+C copies it) but I'd expect some kind of visual feedback that the textarea contains a selection.
Demo: Fiddle
