Can you copy text to the clipboard

In a Java Script can you create a string and then copy it to the clipboard so it can be pasted into another application?

What do you exactly mean?Do you mean code,what copies part of document's text to your clipboard?Or do you mean that can you copy piece of code,from here,and paste it to there using Ctrl+C?If so,yes it is possible.It is only text.However,you must create all needed codes for code what you just pasted to your document,if it needs any.

This is the sort of thing I was looking for. That particular article though uses a function only available in IE. Is there anything that will work in Firefox too? I doesn't need to copy the text from the web page itself as I'll be creating the sting from various inputs on the page. So to rephrase the question: can you copy a string to the clipboard from any browser?

Pretty slick I’d say, he’s using a Macromedia Flash file to perform the copy on the Browser’s behalf (since Firefox/Netscape’s security settings do not allow access to the clipboard by default).

Google is your friend as someone once said, search for things like "javascript copy to clipboard firefox"
