Javascript Copy All

[selfAfflicted]

I was wondering if there is a way to have a link or button on my page that would copy everything on that page just by clicking it.

Thanks for any help!

hmm modifying this might help:

it's better to just highlight it, people don't like to lose stuff in their clipboard

I've tried modifying this script, but couldn't find out how to make it select a div, or something outside of the forum.

If at all possible, I would have liked it to select everything in the body of the page. Any Suggestions?

Can you not step through all the elements and get the content?

This just gets all the text in spans but you could do the same with divs and other elements.

Code: Select all

 
<script>
var spans = document.getElementsByTagName("span");
var str = '';
for (i=0;i < spans.length;i++) 
{
str+= spans[i].childNodes[0].data;
}
alert(str);
 
window.clipboardData.setData("Text",str); //Ie only
</script>
