Copy Text to Clipboard

Add the following javascript code to your page:

<script>
function CopyToClipboard(id)
{
var r = document.createRange();
r.selectNode(document.getElementById(id));
window.getSelection().removeAllRanges();
window.getSelection().addRange(r);
document.execCommand('copy');
window.getSelection().removeAllRanges();
}
</script>

Copy Code to Clipboard

The function copies the visible text of the element to the clipboard.
This works as if you had selected the text and copied it with ctrl+c.
Use the parameter "id" to select the element you want to copy.

Samples:

<p id="sample">Hello World</p>

The following link copies the text within the specified element (in this sample the paragraph with id="sample") to the clipboard:

<a href="#" onclick="CopyToClipboard('sample');return false;">Copy Text</a>

You can also copy the text from other elements, like e.g. a <span>:

<span id="sample">Hello World</span>

or a <div>:

<div id="sample">Hello World</div>
