document.execCommand to clipboard

hi Flux,
Try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<script>
function CopyText()
{
document.Ftest.Ttext.select();
document.execCommand('Copy')
}
</script>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="Ftest">
<input type="text" name="Ttext"><br>
<a href="#" onClick="CopyText();">Copy text</a><br>
<input type="text" name="OtherText">
</form>
</body>
</html>
it works on IE. not NS. the Select works with NS7 but it doesn't copy it to the clipboard. I don't know if that is possible with NS. Although I have seen code that does a similar thing by calling Notepad, so that method might work with NS. Maybe someone else here knows.
I hope that helps.

oh...
got caried away. Just call this function with the text you want in the clipboard.
function ToClipboard(txt)
{
window.clipboardData.clearData();
window.clipboardData.setData("Text", txt);
}
That should do it.

Thanks! That has gotten me closer. I'm still having a slight problem with what ends up in the clipboard though. When I pass Š to the clipboard, it gets converted to ‹. I've tried using the + operator and stringing HTML escape codes together with no luck.
