    Copy Clipboard

    I want to copy to a clipboard from my webpage using data that is available
    from an hidden variable on <inputstatement .

    Using window.clipboar dData.setData(" Text", "This text value"); in a
    javascript function works great in IE. I can't get it to work in Firefox or
    in Safari.

    Any suggestions on how I do this?

    Thanks.

      There is an equivalent in FF, but no method that writes to the
      clipboard is guaranteed to work. Typically the user is asked if they
      want to cancel it (or it throws an exception.)

          Thanks... I am currently moving the data between pages using an <input>
          hidden variable, then retrieving with a POST. It works.

          Thanks again.

              Yes, when presented with a cross-browser impossibility, change the
              design. Sounds like a much better one too!

              No problem.
