Browser compatibility for my script

I have this javascript that when you  press a button it oauto selects the data in the textarea and copies it so all you need to do is paste it back into another application.

It works fine in IE but in other browsers it only highlights but not copies it to the clipboard, can someone take a look and advise where I have gone wrong please.

 

here is the code

 

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function copyit(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Copy")
}
//  End -->
</script>

</head>

<BODY>

<form name="it">
<div align="center">
<input onclick="copyit('it.select1')" type="button" value="Press to Copy the Text" name="cpy">
<p>
<textarea name="select1" rows="3" cols="25">
If this is highlighted, then it has been copied.
</textarea>
</div>
</form>

<!-- Script Size:  1.21 KB -->

</body>
