I was wondering if this is at all possible, I want to check whether a user has selected text inside a textbox control, just like this solution (but this is just for html input controls and not asp.net server controls)

    Don't be surprised to much but behind the scene almost all asp.net controls rendering to html controls. So you absolutely free to use solution you referring. – Yuriy Rozhovetskiy Aug 11 '12 at 12:15

You need nothing to change for server control except the syntax as far as that example is concerned.

<asp:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server" value="Selected?"><asp:TextBox>

<asp:Button id="btnSubmit" runat="server" OnClientClick="alert(isTextSelected();" ></asp:Button>

    function isTextSelected() {
input = document.getElementById('<%= test.ClientID %>'))
        if (typeof input.selectionStart == "number") {
            return input.selectionStart == 0 && input.selectionEnd == input.value.length;
        } else if (typeof document.selection != "undefined") {
            input.focus();
            return document.selection.createRange().text == input.value;
        }
    }

You can simply achieve this by using

$('select, input').click(function(){
   $(this).removeClass('disabled');
});
