Possible Copy Button!

[Mekhu]

if you go here www.edupraxis.ca you will notice at the top of the page I have back, forward, print, etc buttons...

Is it possible to get a copy button!?

Thanks,

Mekhu

Copy what?

[Mekhu]

like the basic copy command...(edit-->copy) or ctrl + c....

but in a button format...

Example:

Print = window.print()

Copy = ?

[308holes]

[sp0radic]

Try some javascript + dynamic html sites

[Mekhu]

[308holes]

Phronzen do yo know how to do it?

[meow]

Yeah Phronzen, do you? :devious2:

[Canuckkev]

I think I answered this before...

Not that I know at all, but I doubt a java script could have access to a visitors clipboard. Maybe if you describe the reason you need a copy function we can figure out a work around.

[Mekhu]

Basically I just wanted it so someone could copy the text they select off my site.

I notice dyanamic drive has a script that auto copies what the user selects...could anyone modify that?

Mekhu

[meow]

No, but I would like to see the script. Where is it? Direct link, please. :biggrin2:

[Dusty]

Is it possible to interact with the clipboard? Short answer no with an except, long answer yes with a but.

Long answer:

Yes, Netscape 6.1 (maybe 6.0, but I don't think so) will allow you to copy to and paste from the clipboard. I don't know how off-hand, I know I've seen it before. But, that's the only browser I know of that allows you to. I've also seen a script that claimed to work in IE, but it didn't when I tested it (sorry, I don't remember the URL). Plus, it's quite easy to get the selected text from a text field, but I'm not so sure how you'd go about getting the selected text from the page itself.

[Canuckkev]

To clarify...

The copied text will be used in another application, outside of their browser?

[Epgs]

most likely

[Mekhu]

Yeah Canuck...

[sp0radic]

Sorry I couldn't find one. I thought I found one, but it only a "select all" script.

[308holes]

their right it cant be dune with JavaScript but it can be dune in DHTML ill send you the link on ICQ later bro:D

[meow]

Sure. Just leave the rest of us out. :rolleyes:

[308holes]

I will post the Script in 1 hour let me mod it so it runs with out hilighting every thing on you page

[308holes]

ok here it is!!


<input type="button" value="Copy" onClick="javascript:execCommand('Copy');" style="font-family:verdana; font-size:10; background-color:Darkgreen; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">

[Dusty]

Didn't work. :confused:

[308holes]

Hmmm well try this the problem is the Forum is putting a space between the Java and the Script just remove the space


<input type="button" value="Copy" onClick="javascript:execCommand('Copy');" style="font-family:verdana; font-size:10; background-color:#0066CC; color:#ffffff; font-weight: bold;">

PS.. ITs NOT PHP i just wanted some color :-)

[meow]

Damnation! I would never have thought! Right on, 308holes! :)

[Dusty]

Nope, still didn't work. Do you have to use some particular browser or...?

[308holes]

ahh i dont know but if i had to guess i would say Explorer4+

[308holes]

ok try this one with out color


<input type="button" value="Copy" onClick="java script:execCommand('Copy');" >

The window can't be closed at all. Not with the X, it doesn't show in the Ctrl+Alt+Delete list and Alt+F4 kills the main window.
It's not a pop-up. What is it - some layer thing?

[308holes]

what browser are you useing?
and what version

and thows errors wont dont mean anything did you use tidy to find that out

[LastActionHero]

so what is this thread about? Can somebody explain and I visited that programminghelper site and that page has tonnes of errors and doesn't display correctly.

I'm confused :confused:

[R. K. Raja]

It would be wise to read the the thread title and the first post before saying you don't know what it's about....

BTW, are you really from New Delhi?

[meow]

I'll explai nto you lah, my friend! :)

execCommand('Copy') is the JaveScript solution to copy selected text in IE.

[308holes]

I allrdy posted that lol

[LastActionHero]

Thanks meow, I got that.

R. K. Raja : Yes I'm really from New Delhi.
