I have some Javascript that is selecting text from a form textarea and copying it to the clipboard:
document.myForm.myTextarea.focus();
document.myForm.myTextarea.select();
document.execCommand( 'Copy' );
This works great. However there is a problem when I try to paste the text somewhere else. Assuming that the text that is being copied is a [URL], I would like it to be pasted as a link. When I grab a URL from the address bar inside a web browser and paste it somewhere ( such as an e-mail ), it automatically shows up as a clickable link. When I put a URL into my form textarea and run the javascript, it gets pasted as a plain text ( ie. not underlined and not clickable ).
Why are these two different? I've tried running a program to see what is actually copied into the clipboard and I don't see any differences. There must be something that denotes the URL copied from the address bar as a link and therefore makes it clickable when pasted. Is there a way to force this in order to make what is copied to the clipboard from my form textarea a clickable link?
Could someone help me to finalize a little project? I'm writing a form for my site but I'don't know many in Javascript (I'm a newbee).
When the form is completed, the visitor may display it in another window for verification, printing or sending by e-mail. When he opens the second window, the form's content is send automatically to the clipboard so it could be pasted in another application (Word, etc.).
I have been searching and experimenting for the past 3 hours and have given up, I need help solving this problem. I want to be able for the text in the clipboard to be pasted wherever the mouse is clicked, no matter if it is in a form, textarea, facebook comments box or the address bar. I have found how to make it pase onclick to textarea and form but I just want it to paste whatever is in the clipboard to wherever the mouse is clicked.

I'm trying to send an entire table and it's contents to the clipboard. The problem is that one of the cells of the table contains a chart that comes from an applet via our SAP system.The other cells around the chart contain labels and such... the user will need to cut and paste these charts into presentations.What i would like is for users to be able to click a button and go paste into power point or wherever they'd like.I had an idea that maybe it's possible to take a screenshot of a portion of the screen and throw that image to the clipboard?

I've been looking around the web for a simple JavaScript to solve this problem but can't seem to find something that would work both in IE and FF and the other major browsers?
So basically I have a page listing about a dozen badges people can use to link back to me. I have presented the code for each badge (eg. a href, img src, alt...) in a separate textarea and I'd really love to add a link next to each textarea that would say something like "Click here to copy to Clipboard" then it would copy the text from within the corresponding textarea to the Clipboard so as to eliminate the need for Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C.
I enter information in a system based on the # of a report that comes in. So if I see a report that says "333" i want to enter specific information for "333" same with "444" and "555" and so on and so forth.So I want to have a drop down menu for 111, 222, 333, 444 etc.Basically what I need is, if I select the report # from the drop down menu, I want it to copy information from a HIDDEN textbox to the clipboard.
how to do click to copy to the clipboard and open site. examples of this kind of script can be viewed on this page [URL].. on the yellow boxes with the discount text.
I am using some java script to copy the contents of a textarea to the clipboard. I need the script to copy the contents of the textarea because there'll be html code (apostrophes and quotations) that need to be copied.Ever since I put all of my site's code into one .js file, the copy-to-clipboard scripts no longer appear to work.Also the copy-to-clipboard scripts won't work in the latest version of IE.This is the code I am using...
I have an issue where I am trying to allow the user to click on a table and automatically copy a table into the clipboard. I do this with text using IE:
function clickCopyText(fi) { window.clipboardData.setData("Text",fi.innerText); }
so to copy the table, I tried:
function clickCopyHTML(fi) { window.clipboardData.setData("Text",fi.innerHTML); }
The Trouble with Tables is the HTML itself gets copied as opposed to the rendered table. I am probably looking at some other way of getting the code to the clipboard, but I am stymied. I can do it with images, but not with rendered HTML.
Im currently building a new discount-webpage and Im looking for a solution to be able to hover over a discount button to reveal a small text without clicking. And after clicking on the button that the text in the flash button is copied into the clipboard and a new page open with a small frame from my window with the new page underneith. examples of this kind of script can be viewed on this page: [URL]... Im not looking for someone to do this for me. All I want to know if there is another language to do this with like possibly java? and maybe some links to tutorials. (the current page solves this with flash which I havent worked with before.)

I am working on a website that uses a random header. I have been trying to figure out how to adjust the code so that the header also serves as a clickable link.
Here is the code that I have:
What do I need to add in order for the header to also serve as a link? I am completely new to JavaScript and I don't understand it very well.
I am trying to make a clickable link in JS wheres as 2 variable assigned as Image URL and Link URL. I have changed the address per forum rules, but I assure you they are valid images addresses and link addresses var _IMAGE_URL = "fakeaddress/picture.jpg"; var _LINK_URL = "fakeaddress"; var _BANNER = "<center><a href="" + _LINK_URL + ""><img src="" + _IMAGE_URL + ""></a></center>" var _POST_THIS = _BANNER
This is then called upon later through _POST_THIS, into a text box, buts its not working. However if I change this: var _BANNER = "TEST<SP>" + _LINK_URL + "<SP>TEST<SP>2<SP>" + _IMAGE_URL + "<SP>TEST<SP>3" Everything posts fine, but ofcourse just as text addresses, such as TEST fakeaddress TEST 2 fakeaddress/picture.jpg TEST 3
So my problem is in this line, trying to post as a clickable picutre, var _BANNER = "<center><a href="" + _LINK_URL + ""><img src="" + _IMAGE_URL + ""></a></center>" Kept hammering away, and the correct statement would be this var _BANNER = "<center><a<SP>href="" + _LINK_URL + ""><img<SP>src="" + _IMAGE_URL + ""></a></center>"
Any way to select a portion of text and convert it to a clickable link? I have seen examples, where the selected text is wrapped in <a> tags, however, I have yet to see an example of having the link actually be clickable. The other issue appears to be with the document.selection property that Firefox seems to not support. So a cross-browser solution would be ideal. I intend to use this with a custom toolbar/button in FCKEditor. The toolbar is in place, we just need to resolve the selected text - clickable link issue.

BUT, I would like to be able to specify a local copy of the scripts as a fail-safe alternative. Is there a simple HTML way to specify an alternate src property?
And I've tried searching, but "alternate script source" and various permutations just lead to useless HTML basics. ...and not the kind of basic HTML.
I have files on the server: .txt, .xml, .config, and "no extension" - all editable with notepad.
User will write some input, it will be added to file in specific place.
I need an ability to change element value in file (in one of them - depends what user choose) (or it even can be some trigger word it-self like CHANGE_ME for not to use attributes)
Create a temporary copy of edited file and create a unique temporary link to it.
I don't know what to start from.... For now I know how to make XHR, but what to do with other extensions?
Have no idea how to save the NEW file (a copy of original file) on server , and create a UNIQUE link ,and delete the file right after it was downloaded.
I can find a specific word in xml file, but how to change it?[code]...
So here's my situation, I have a div that is clickable and redirects to a page using the window.location.href method. I'm not using anchor tags because within the div, there are other links that can be clicked. So I'm using the onclick redirect for the div, then using stopPropagation to prevent the redirect when links are clicked.
The problem is, I would like the javascript redirect to also work like a link. So that when you right click it, you are given the option to copy the link address, as this is significantly more convenient for myself and my users, rather than having to click it first and then copy the URL. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
From any page, I want to be able to call a JS function that will do the equivelant of select all, and copy. This data will then be posted to a page that will log it.
This would be easy using copy/paste functionality but I don't want to screw-up users copy/paste buffer. Anyone have an example of how to retrieve all text with similar formatting of copying page to notepad without using copy/paste functionality?
