Re: Javascript Copy to clipboard Object Error

I've never really got involved in IE propriety commands but I have used a much more comprehensive function previously.

I can't remember the site I got it from but it's -- I have added the highlight part to the top to make the text selected in browsers that won't support this

Code: Select all
// Use this as the function in your onclick call
function allBrowserCopy{
document.Form1.banner1.select(); document.Form1.banner1.focus();
copyToClipboard(document.Form1.banner1.value);
}

function copyToClipboard(s)
{


	if( window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData )
	{
		clipboardData.setData("Text", s);
	}
	else
	{
		// You have to sign the code to enable this or allow the action in about:config by changing
		user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
		netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');

		var clip Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;[[[[1]]]]'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard);
		if (!clip) return;

		// create a transferable
		var trans = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/transferable;[[[[1]]]]'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsITransferable);
		if (!trans) return;

		// specify the data we wish to handle. Plaintext in this case.
		trans.addDataFlavor('text/unicode');

		// To get the data from the transferable we need two new objects
		var str = new Object();
		var len = new Object();

		var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string;[[[[1]]]]"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString);

		var copytext=meintext;

		str.data=copytext;

		trans.setTransferData("text/unicode",str,copytext.length*[[[[2]]]]);

		var clipid=Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard;

		if (!clip) return false;

		clip.setData(trans,null,clipid.kGlobalClipboard);	   
	}
}
