Onclick Select All and Copy to Clipboard (javascript)
- 18 Comment
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)

Well 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.

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

It 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.

What part of “The html part is:

Nice one, this is really handy - thanks very much indeed. I prefer the this.select(); route myself as it’s so simple..
Does anyone know an equally simple way to copy the contents to clipboard (in any browser)?
Thanks very much indeed.
