Copy To Clipboard Not Working

[Wayne Wengert]

I am trying to copy the text from a textbox to the clipboard. I saw some
code posted earlier for Pasting from the clipboard so I modified it for copy
but it is not working (see code below). When I click on the
btnCopyToClipbo ard I can see some processing going on but the text from the
textbox is not being put on the clipboard?

Thoughts or suggestions?

"{document.all. txtHidden.focus ();" & _

"document.execC ommand('copy'); }</script>")

End If

End Sub

After thinking about this code (I know very little javascript) and googling
for ideas I am pretty sure the problem is with the

"{document.all. txtHidden.focus ();"

phrase. I suspect that the code needs to be changed to something that
actually selects the text in that text box instead of just giving it focus.
I am going to experiment with "InnerHTML" to see what happens.

I just re-posted this over in the dotnet.language s.jscript forum - I didn't
have that on my list before.
