复制文本框的按钮

Question

I need a simple script that gives me a button that when clicked will copy the contents of a text input box to the clipboard. Or it could be a script that when you click on the text input box, automatically copies the contents to the clipboard and displays a "Copy" message next to the text input box.

I've seen them all over the web, but can't find the code for one now.

Answer 1

This example uses jQuery :

Assuming an input box with an id of foo , and a button with an id of clickme , here's how I'd do it:

var inputText = "";
$("#clickme").click(function() {
    inputText = $("#foo").val();
});
// inputText now has the input box's value

Edit:

After your clarification, I now understand what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, flash 10 broke most of the methods to do this. However, some great people wrote ZeroClipboard , which is fully compatible with flash 10 and makes it really easy to accomplish this task. Their wiki explains usage.
