function copyText(){
var txt = '';
if (window.getSelection)
txt = window.getSelection();
else if (document.getSelection)
txt = document.getSelection();
else return;
document.getElementById("a").value=txt;
allCopied =document.getElementById("a").createTextRange();
allCopied.execCommand("RemoveFormat");
allCopied.execCommand("Copy");
}
but for security reasons most browsers do not allow to modify the clipboard( except Internet explorer).
HTML
<form name="myForm">
<span onclick="copyText(this)" >Text1</span>, <span onclick="copyText(this)" >Text2</span>
<br>
<input name="myField"></input>
JavaScript
function copyText(element) {
document.myForm.myField.value = element.innerHTML;
}
Copy to Clip Board Ctrl+C
$("#text1").click(function(){
var holdtext = $("#clipboard").innerText;
Copied = holdtext.createTextRange();
Copied.execCommand("Copy");
});
use getselection() to get selected text inside a browser window
