IE can copy can other browsers?

[Benoni]

I searched through these forums for scripts to copy text to the clipboard, however they only worked for IE(the ones I found anyway). Dod other browsers support coppying text with the click of a button or is it only IE.

I seriously ask myself why I have this approach that requires this,however here is the code I wrote for this purpose.It works like below.

1. You select some text from browser window

2.The selected text is copied to clipboard

3. Now from any text editor if you select edit+paste the selected text fromt eh browser window will be pasted.

4. the biggest problem is that it only works from your local system.It will not work from the internet.

Save the file on you rPC and the run it.

Good luck..

I was hoping to just copy text which is not printed anywhere on the page, but instead is in a variable. If anyone wants to copy text from a textarea it is much more cross-browser compatable and simpler to use the ctrl+c shortcut.
