select

In all the forums web pages the download links are given inside the [code] braces that looks like text area with white background.

When the download links are in large numbers then there are scroll bars.

I find it difficult to scroll up and then select and then drag down to select all links.

Is there any way to select all , when I click on select all on right click then it usually selects the text from whole page not from that code segment
