Onclick Select All and Copy to Clipboard (javascript)
In sometimes, in html , if you want to select the text for a textbox or a textarea , you can use the following script
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function select_all(obj)
{ var text_val=eval(obj);
text_val.focus();
text_val.select();
if (!document.all) return; // IE only
r= text_val.createTextRange();
r.execCommand(\\’copy\\’);
} </script>
The html part is:
<input value=”http://www.sajithmr.com” onclick=”select_all(this)” name=”url” type=”text” />The above script will select all the text for input field and copy to clipboard (for IE only)

April 19th, 2008 at 12:34 amWell this is just terrible. Just use this simple bit of code in the textbox or textarea.
onFocus=”this.select();”
Or maybe I’m just misinterpreting what your trying to do.

Here not only just select, also copy the content into your clipboard.(Similar to right click select all and copy)

May 6th, 2008 at 12:12 amIt doesn’t work, at least not in Opera, the line
r.execCommand(\’copy\’);
gives an inline script compilation error at the escaped quotes. If I unescape the quotes it gives a type mismatch error on the same line.

June 2nd, 2008 at 5:07 pmWhat part of “The html part is:
The above script will select all the text for input field and copy to clipboard (for IE only)” do you not understand? IE = Internet Explorer != Opera.
