Select all And Copy

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 03.2008

Hi!

I’m looking for a script, or just the possibility to make a button that first

Select the Whole Page (Select All)

Copy to Clipboard ( Copy all previously “Select All” Text to Clipboard )

I found many scripts that just copy a text area, or part of the document. I know that the simple way is click with the right button…then select all ..copy.

I would like to build one button for both actions.

Any suggestion?

Thx!

@felgallFeb 04.2008 — A web page has no way of telling if the operating system has a clipboard except for Internet Explorer as all other browsers can run on a variety of devices that don't have one. There is therefore no JavaScript command for accessing the clipboard that may or may not exist. There is a command that works with Internet Explorer but it will not work for any other browser.

The following statement will copy the content of the page to the clipboard in IE.

document.body.innerHTML.execCommand("Copy");
