hey bud yea its possible. It just takes som small jscript and a small html code let me show you what to do:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
.highlighttext{
background-color:yellow;
font-weight:bold;
}
</style>

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var copytoclip=1

function HighlightAll(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
if (document.all&& copytoclip==1){ therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Copy")
window.status="Contents highlighted and copied to clipboard!"
setTimeout("window.status=''",1800)
}
}
//-->
</script>


</head>

<body>
<form name="test">
<textarea name="select1" rows=10 cols=35 >blah blah blah</textarea><div>
<a href="javascript:HighlightAll('test.select1')"><img src="cpbttn.bmp" width=21 height=9 border=0 class="noprint"></a><br>

</form>


</body>
</html>

Alright buddy just take this code and paste it right into your editor play with it for a minute till you completly understand why it works, and then just interlace it into your current code.
If you run into any trouble dont hesitate to ask . . cool?

note:* also notice above were it says:

if (document.all&& copytoclip==1){

The place were the space is should not be spaced, that line should be all one line besides the space between the if and the parenthesis, I had to space the above line becuase if I didnt this would happen:

if (document.all&&copytoclip==1){

(stupid entity thing)

be cool
