$('textarea').focus(function() {
  this.select();
})

DEMO

From the line "when user open it through jquery" I think you need something like:

$('textarea').slideDown(function() {
    $(this).focus();
}).focus(function() {
    this.select();
});

Here I assume your textarea is hidden and you opened it using jQuery event and after open it text will be selected by default.
