Hi All,

I am using a textarea in the popup.html to display output text. Since
there is no right-click menu item of 'copy' to let user to copy
selection out (even ctrl-c works), I am thinking to add a button to do
so. However, looks document.execCommand("copy"); doesn't work from
popup. Any workaround? Thanks. Arthur

My test popup.html:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function test1() {
var t = document.getElementById('showtextout');
t.selectionStart = 0;
t.selectionEnd = t.value.length;
}

function test2() {
// this not work in popup!!
document.execCommand("copy");
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='divout'>
<textarea id="showtextout" rows="25"
cols="50">qwertyuiop1234567890</textarea>
<p align="center">
<input type="button" value="Select All" onClick='test1();' />
<input type="button" value="Copy" onClick='test2();' />
</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>
