I've created a class for copying text by creating a textarea and
running execCommand('Copy') on it. There is a 'Paste' command too but
somehow it won't work (I might be doing it wrong).
Feel free to use it if you'd like.
Code:
Clipboard = {};
Clipboard.utilities = {};
Clipboard.utilities.createTextArea = function(value) {
var txt = document.createElement('textarea');
txt.style.position = "absolute";
txt.style.left = "-100%";
if (value != null)
txt.value = value;
document.body.appendChild(txt);
return txt;
};
Clipboard.copy = function(data) {
if (data == null) return;
var txt = Clipboard.utilities.createTextArea(data);
txt.select();
document.execCommand('Copy');
document.body.removeChild(txt);
};
// Can't get this to work. See the problem?
Clipboard.paste = function() {
var txt = Clipboard.utilities.createTextArea();
txt.focus();
document.execCommand('Paste');
var value = txt.value;
document.body.removeChild(txt);
return value;
};
