@LeeUApr 05.2006 — From [URL=http://javascript.internet.com/forms/select-and-auto-copy.html]JavaScript Source[/URL]

[CODE]
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function copyit(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Copy")
//-->
</script>
[/CODE]

[CODE]
<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>
[/CODE]

This doesn't work in FireFox, though.
