Can Java copy text to clipboard?

[shawjames]

I want to make a button that if clicked will copy a text string to the local clipboard. Basically doing the same thing as highlighting some text and pressing Ctrl-C

Can Javascript do this?

Cool, I got the copy to work... but I can only get it to copy to the clipboard text that is highlighted.

Can the copy command save a predefined text string to the clipboard?

I tried this:
document.execCommand("copy", "false", "test");

I wanted to try and save "text" to the clipboard everytime the function is called... but this didnt work.

Is there a different way to do this?

Is there a way to get the highlighted text to copy to the clipboard without the hyperlinks remaining active?

I have the copy and paste part working fine...

I have a "locked down" report that hides url, suppresses right clicks, etc. I want the user to be able to copy the page to the clipboard and paste the info into Excel without any of the hyperlinks remaining active. Is this possible?

Thanks!
