JS for copy text from textarea

[primozc]

Hello,

I would need js script that copy the content of specific textarea just with a clikc on link (or button). The problem is that generic copy function works only in IE. I googled a bit but found nothing. Can you advise me where to search?
I don't know much about js ...

Thank you!

Do you want to copy it to the user's clipboard or somewhere else on the page?

Of course, I forgot: to the clipboard.

Only IE has direct access to the clipboard. To be able to copy to the clipboard from other browsers (assuming they are running on an operating system that has a clipboard) you would need to use an alternative language to perform the copy such as Flash.

Yes, I have this option on my website (in signature - ipsum-generator) but is seems that this flash file doesn't work anymore in the latest version of flash plug-in. It stopped working when I upgraded flash version 2 days ago.

My flash ver. is now: 10.0 r12.
Any other suggestions?

Really no any other suggestion?

Since that's the only way to do it from within the web page the only alternate suggestion would be to let your visitors do the copy for themselves.
