Copy Button?

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

Could someone help me with a copy button?

 

This is my html.

 

<table border="1" cellSpacing="2" cellPadding="1" width="341" align="center" height="64">
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td height="54" width="151">
			<img border="0" src="http://gotyou.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/copy-button.jpg" onclick="copyit()" width="112" height="32">
		</td>
		<td height="50" width="100%">
			<textarea id="copy" style="width:450px; height:70px; font-size:10px; overflow:hidden;"><embed src='http://gotyou.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wordtube/player.swf' height='300' width='300' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars='volume=80&bufferlength=5&displayclick=none&controlbar=none&linktarget=_self&autostart=true&title=leeds-0036.jpg&file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gotyou.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fgallery%2FNurses%2FAbb_0056.JPG&plugins=viral'/></textarea>
		</td>
	</tr>		
</tbody>
</table>

 

What should happen is when you click an image, it copies the code from the textarea to the users clipboard so they can paste it where every they want it. Is this possible? How do you do it?

 

I haven't got very far. So far I have gathered the textarea id.

 

function copyit() {
var element = document.getElementById('copy'));
}

If you want this work reliably crossbrowser you're out of luck, javascript should not be allowed access to the clipboard for obvious reasons (people copying banknumbers, passwords and what not).

However, Internet explorer seems to it though, explained over here: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3458851

 

If you simply want to store data for a moment I suggest making use of a variable instead.
