# Clickable Textarea in defined column

 * Hello!
 * I’m using Tablepress for different projects and am really satisfied with the 
   functionality, thanks.
 * Now I have a problem. I want to make in one of the columns (and there every single
   row) the text clickable, so I don’t have to insert that code every single time.
   
   The code looks like this: <textarea onclick=”this.select();” readonly=”readonly”
   class=”coupons”>xxxtextxxx</textarea>
 * Was experimenting with the “Custom Commands” field a bit but can’t find an answer.
   Would be great if you can help me.
 * Thanks in advance,
    Benjamin

 * Hi Benjamin,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This is not something where the “Custom Commands” can help. You would have to
   place the JS code for this directly into the page. Additionally, you’d need to
   add plain HTML code for the textarea into the table cell.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Oh, thanks for the quick response. Good to know that “Custom Commands” isn’t 
   made for that, just hoped to reduce the HTML code length.
 * Will try it with plain HTML now.
