Copying php var value to clipboard

[tripwater]

I have a var in php called $tempid that holds an integer. This is in a popup up window that they are working out of.

Once the user posts over to the page in which this int gets generated, I would like for them to be able to either click a link and it be in their clipboard or just assign it to the clipboard automatically.

THis is for developers that are tracking error codes and they would be entering this in all day so this would cut down on steps.

Also these developers are using both IE as well as Mozilla/netscape browsers so it needs to work in both...asking alot?

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The IE only way is document.execCommand (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/execcommand.asp) using the copy (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/constants/copy.asp) command identifier (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/commandids.asp)... I don't know of a way to do this in Mozilla.
