Is it really required to add an event to meet your requirement? I think it will work without writing any code. Just enter any value in textbox and double click it. It will be selected. I tried it on IE 8. Its working. Not sure about other browsers.

Ya but when we enter any special charectoer selection is done for that special charectors only. not to entire text. Example: hai!@ Here when we double click !@ alone is selected instead of selecting whole text
