copyToClipboard.js

  el.style.left = '-9999px';                      // Move outside the screen to make it invisible
  document.body.appendChild(el);                  // Append the <textarea> element to the HTML document
  const selected =            
    document.getSelection().rangeCount > 0        // Check if there is any content selected previously

  el.select();                                    // Select the <textarea> content
  document.execCommand('copy');                   // Copy - only works as a result of a user action (e.g. click events)
  document.body.removeChild(el);                  // Remove the <textarea> element
  if (selected) {                                 // If a selection existed before copying

Hi Angelo,

Good day. I was hoping you can help me with my copy to clipboard button. What I want to be able to do is to copy selected items with check box. basically, I have a list of items, and when the user select the items that they wanted and click the submit button, it will only copy the selected items. below is my script.

<script> function submit_id(frm) { var inputdata = frm.getElementsByTagName('input'); var nr_inputdata = inputdata.length; var data = []; for(var i=0; i

<script> function submit_id(frm) { var inputdata = frm.getElementsByTagName('input'); var nr_inputdata = inputdata.length; var data = []; for(var i=0; i
