Here's a little script I throw at the bottom of all my pages at DepressedPress.com. It provides links to copy the page URL, Title or link to the clipboard (I use it when doing updates and such). The code will only work on IE (thus the check for "document.all" before presenting it). Shorthand for what you need is: window.clipboardData.setData("Text", "Whudeva"); I believe that this can also be specifically prevented by a security setting at well. <script language="javascript1.3" type="text/javascript"> function CopyToClip_URL() { window.clipboardData.setData("Text", "http://www.depressedpress.com/index.cfm";); }; function CopyToClip_Title() { window.clipboardData.setData("Text", "Welcome to the New Depressed Press"); }; function CopyToClip_Link() { window.clipboardData.setData("Text", "<a href=\'http://www.depressedpress.com/index.cfm\'>Welcome to the New Depressed Press</a>"); }; if ( document.all ) { document.write(" <div class=\"Footer_Disclaimer\">Copy the page <a href=\"JavaScript: var i = CopyToClip_URL();\">URL</a> or <a href=\"JavaScript: var i = CopyToClip_Title();\">Title</a> or <a href=\"JavaScript: var i = CopyToClip_Link();\">Link</a> to the clipboard</div>"); }; </script> Hope it helps.
