Similar TutorialsIs it possible to make a button that when clicked, copies text from a box. Instead of manually selecting the contents and then copying with something like control+c. I don't know if this is possible with html alone, could anyone help? Hello again Can someone please help me with this, I need a button that when clicked will pull a password from somewhere hidden from view and allow the users to paste it in the relevant frame of my web page. can this be done without using a text area, or by using an external txt file. basically the password we all use is stored in an email and I don't want to have to open outlook each time I need to use it, but I don't really want it the password displayed on the page either. hope I made sense if not please feel free to shout random abuse at me. Hello I put up a static background portal page which has links to everything for the business and our email address. since the email address is static to the image, i want to make an image map and have that copy the email address to the clipboard and inform the user that it has been copies and can be pasted in their email client. How would i go about this? Thanks The Daily Mail is doing something that has me puzzled. When I go to this url in firefox http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...shut-down.html (or any url @ the Daily Mail actually) if I try and copy a paragraph the page it adds a link and some text to the bottom of what ever I copied. Like this: Computers in companies, hospitals and schools around the world slowed down or froze after an antivirus program identified a normal Windows file as a threat Read mo http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...#ixzz0lq9Ljcbw That last line wasn't in the area I had highlighted to copy. How are they doing that????? Hi I work at a helpdesk and we are creating a knowledge base of all of our information. We are currently trying to develop a way to track the steps that the agents have completed within the knowledge document. Therefore, someone brought up the bright idea that after each step or beside each step that there will be a check box. Once the agent clicks that check box the information from that step would be logged as a log comment within our ticketing system. Now we can move the data into the log comment field without a problem but we are running into the issue of copying the selected text with check box. Could anyone assist with the coding? Hello all! In my job, I talk to a customer or another rep, solve their problem, and note their accounts respectively. To avoid unnecessary repetition and typing the same thing over and over, I had knocked up a little html page (stored on my hd) with a javacode that had my most frequently used notes, such that I could click a form button, and the note was copied to the clipboard. Then I could just tab back to my working software and paste the note into the account. This worked beautifully until the company updated the security in our system, and now no page may use java. With my little html app, I just had a page full of pressable buttons that had one or two keywords on them, so that I knew which note I was picking. Having all of the notes listed longhand and having to select them by hand just takes so long, when I had such an elegant solution before. Does anyone know a method of accomplishing this task without using Java? Hello, First off let me say thanks for checking this posting out. I am sort of stumped on this one however. My question is I have an inline frame that is holding data from a txt file. What I would like to do is take the data the inline frame is displaying and copy it to the clipboard using a button. Below are links to the images and the code I am using... Bascially you see the copy button, I want to click that and it copy the text thats in the inline frame to the clipboard so I can paste it elsewhere, like in word (just an example) Code: <html> <head> <title>SCWC Responces</title> <style> body { margin: 20px; background: #eee; } iframe { width: 700px; height: 300px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background: #fff; } </style> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function FP_swapImg() {//v1.0 var doc=document,args=arguments,elm,n; doc.$imgSwaps=new Array(); for(n=2; n<args.length; n+=2) { elm=FP_getObjectByID(args[n]); if(elm) { doc.$imgSwaps[doc.$imgSwaps.length]=elm; elm.$src=elm.src; elm.src=args[n+1]; } } } function FP_preloadImgs() {//v1.0 var d=document,a=arguments; if(!d.FP_imgs) d.FP_imgs=new Array(); for(var i=0; i<a.length; i++) { d.FP_imgs[i]=new Image; d.FP_imgs[i].src=a[i]; } } function FP_getObjectByID(id,o) {//v1.0 var c,el,els,f,m,n; if(!o)o=document; if(o.getElementById) el=o.getElementById(id); else if(o.layers) c=o.layers; else if(o.all) el=o.all[id]; if(el) return el; if(o.id==id || o.name==id) return o; if(o.childNodes) c=o.childNodes; if(c) for(n=0; n<c.length; n++) { el=FP_getObjectByID(id,c[n]); if(el) return el; } f=o.forms; if(f) for(n=0; n<f.length; n++) { els=f[n].elements; for(m=0; m<els.length; m++){ el=FP_getObjectByID(id,els[n]); if(el) return el; } } return null; } // --> </script> </head> <body onload="FP_preloadImgs(/*url*/'button13.jpg',/*url*/'button14.jpg')"> <p align="left">Please Choose The Appropriate Response :</p> <ul> <li><a target="show_file" href="SCWC_NO_SUPPID.txt">No 5-Digit Supplier Code</a></li> <li><a href="NO_INVALID_SPONSOR.txt" target="show_file">Ticket Reject;Invalid Sponsor</a></li> <li><a href="2ND_LEVEL_SUBMISSION.txt" target="show_file">2nd Level General Responce</a></li> </ul> <iframe name="show_file" width="844" height="300"></iframe> <p> <img border="0" id="img1" src="button12.jpg" height="20" width="100" alt="Copy" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button13.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button12.jpg')" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button14.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button13.jpg')" fp-style="fp-btn: Brick Column 9" fp-title="Copy"></p> </body> </html> -WinUser2003 Hi everyone.

I was wondering how to make a text box display something somewhere else for example (This does not work)---- ------------------------------------------------------------------ [page1.html] (Pretend this is a text box)>>> [Text Text Text...] [page2.html] -This is the text displayed in the text box->>>Text Text Text... HOW DO I DO THAT PLEASE HELP!! I was curious if anyone knew how to set up a link/button that copies a table to the clipboard??? So you could set up a table like: <table> <tr> <td>Hello</td> <td>World</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Copy table link</td> </tr> <table Hello, I want to create a large text box. I have the following code: Code: <td class="CellInput"> <input type="text" size="150" textarea style="height:200px" name="information" id="informationId"> And here is the relevant CSS: Code: .CellInput { background-color: white; border: none; color: black; font-family: verdana,Arial,tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 2px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: normal; } .CellInput INPUT, .CellInput SELECT, .CellInput TEXTAREA { border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } The box that my code generates is nice and tall...but you can only type in the first horizontal row...you can't press enter and go down to lower rows. I don't know whether there's something wrong with the box, and/or there's something somewhere preventing me from using enter. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could modify the above to make a nice, tall, usable box? I don't see anything that specifies height in the CSS above! I am still an HTML newbie, so it is very possible (probable?) that I am missing something obvious. Thanks in advance! I need to have this text in html. I need only the text, no table. My problem was, that when i changed the fontsize, a new paragraph was created. But i want it on one line. Thanks for your help. I would like to have some text and/or image appear on a page. And at a date/time have it disappear/expire. Is this possible? Is it html or a script? Any direction would help THANKS! Dave read title I want to create a form with a text box that has a specific answer. If the correct answer is typed in, the submit button redirects to one page. If the wrong answer is typed, the form redirects to another page. Is there any way to do this? I just need a basic code for this. For what I presume is basic anyway. On MySpace, I'll insert links, and MySpace will automatically make it a hyperlink, but won't allow you to visit certain links that you click on. How do you prevent it from being a link and so that it's just text? I thought <nohtml> worked, but apparently it doesn't exist. Would help me out loads, thanks, Sam/. |
