Script copies a table or a text to the clipboard. After this you can use the normal paste function in any program. Most common use of the script: transfer data from web into a spreadsheet program (like Excel).

Compatibility:

• IE - full compatibility
• FireFox - please click on the yes option in the popup window - this option will not disturb you in the future
• Opera - not compatible

Example

Installation and setup

Use div tags with unique ids to specify the right table or text to be copied.

<div id="sample2">
    Sample text shows the function of clipboard copy from javascript.
</div>

Then put OnClick action on a link or a button. The copy_clipboard function has only one argument, which is the id of the div to be copied.

<input type="button"
 onclick="copy_clipboard('sample2');" 
 
 
class="ib" value="Copy the text">
