Select and Auto Copy

JavaScriptSource Staff Jan 25, 2002

With this script you can highlight and copy text in a textarea box with the click of a button. IE only (In Netscape, it only highlights the text; it doesn't copy it.)

The JavaScript Source: Forms: Select and Auto Copy

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or Command-s). The script is yours!!!

<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL SELECT AND AUTO COPY:

1.  Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
  2.  Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<HEAD>

</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>
