@amithauthorMar 26.2008 — This worked for me.

clipboardData.setData("Text", strcpy);

Is there any way to do this on client side? C# ASP.NET webapplication?

If you don't want the whole script (the part that it will copy anything you select from the page) you can take out parts from it...

[CODE]<script>

bBool=false
var copiedtext=""
var tempstore=""

function initiatecopy() {
bBool=true;
}

function copyit() {
if (bBool) {
tempstore=copiedtext
document.execCommand("Copy")
copiedtext=window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
if (tempstore!=copiedtext) {
//This is if you want to alert the copied text...
//alert(copiedtext);
}
bBool=false;
}
}

document.onselectionchange = initiatecopy
document.onmouseup = copyit

</script>[/CODE]

@felgallMar 27.2008 — Well if a web page could load the clipboard with a virus without your knowledge it could compromise the security of your computer. That's one of the reasons that browsers (other than IE) don't allow access to the clipboard directly from the web page at all.
