How selection is performed (mouse > click, tab to element and press space, shouting the label on the > element) is media dependent. I meant text selection. Marking an entire element as selected would be done the same way as marking an element as checked, as disabled, and so forth; namely, using an API that lets you specifically label elements as being in that state as in: myDiv.isSelected = true; ...or something like that. There is the (very poor) beginnings of such a proposal in the Web Controls draft at the moment.
