window.clipboardData.setData

[vtforme]

Hi,
I am new to Javascript and have just taken over the maintenance of some code written by another developer (who has left the company). His code is properly copying same data and placing it on the windows clip board. My task is to make this data be copied in a format that will paste nicely into Excel.

Here is the current code for the function.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.


function CopyToClipboard()
{
var obj, box;

obj = null;
if (document.getElementById)
obj = document.getElementById('cmt');
if (obj)
{
box = document.getElementById('parts');
partNo = box.options[box.selectedIndex].text;
data = "";
data = data + "Catalog Number: " + partNo;
data = data + "\r\nDescription: " + document.getElementById('description').innerText;
data = data + "\r\nQuantity to order: " + document.getElementById('qty').value;
data = data + "\r\n";

window.clipboardData.setData('Text', data);
window.status = "Catalog number, price, and quantity copied to clipboard";
}
}

data = "";
data = data + "Catalog Number: \t" + partNo;
data = data + "\r\nDescription: \t" + document.getElementById('description').innerText;
data = data + "\r\nQuantity to order: \t" + document.getElementById('qty').value;
data = data + "\r\n";
 

try that out

WOW that was quick. I'm glad I stumbled upon this web site. I was getting nowhere on the MSDN site.
That works great.
Thanks again.
