Copy To Clipboard Function

I know how to code to get the text in a text area highlighted, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the code to copy the content of a text area directly to the clipboard.Thanks in advance,Pete

A time ago i need a script to do this action, and after some searching i found how to do it. You say that you have the code that selects the content text of the textarea, so, simply add a button to your form which will perform the action of copying it to the clipboard when it is clicked and the following javascript function, you can place this function in an external javascript file or in the HEAD section of your page.

Here is the Javascript code:

function copy(text) {  if (window.clipboardData) {	window.clipboardData.setData("Text",text);  }}

And the button:

<input type="button" value="Copy To Clipboard" onclick="copy(document.your_form_name.your_textarea_name.value);">

I'm not pretty sure but i guess that it only works with Internet Explorer 6, i don't test it with any other browser.

Check also this topic One Click To Copy Script, Works in IE6 but not any other Browsers

You are welcome, and the function will not notice the user to press "OK" or any other key.
