clipboard stuff

[infinitelo]

Im working on a wierd project, what i need is a way to copy the contents(text) of an html page and paste them into another aplication.

I have the same problem.
I know this is possible in JavaScript with one line of code:

vSheetContent = document.all.tabContent(0).outerHTML
window.clipboardData.setData("text", vSheetContent)

Surely there is something similar in VBScript - it's such a basic need but it seems you need an object which supports the Copy method....
I'm about to give up on this and stick to JavaScript

thanks for the reply, since you can have both script languages in the same page it doesnt matter witch one i use.

infinitelo - you need to provide more information on your environment. Is this in an HTA, the WSH, client/server ASP, or what. There are other threads here that discuss clipboard manipulation - do a keyword search.

Karpov - per your post, you are using the Browser's OM to perform your copy/paste. So whether you are using JS or VBS is absolutely irrelevant - provide the browser supports it. Jon Hawkins
