Topic:
JavaScript;jQuery;Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
Just want to select all text in following code with div contenteditable tag and do copy and then paste it in the same div tag corresponding to the current cursor postion.
Some one told us me to use exexcCommand for copy and paster for Chrome that
will be easy and fast, I tried it before, Whatever I specifiy such as
document.getElementById('divtxt).execCommand("Paste") that is not working
even I set document.execCommand("Paste") not working either
Any hint provide me what I am doing wrong for the attached code
Please advise
Duncan

it should work with rich text unless jquery does something or the bug described here applies to you : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826008/en-us, or you paste to some place that does not handle rich text
but anyway, even the flash version is likely not to work without extra hacks if at all in a near future. i guess activeX will keep working (on IE) but prompt about security issues like it already does.no idea about java but something similar will happen.
re-reading your question, if you just want to move text contained in one location to the div under the cursor, you don't need the clipboard. just detect the div that is currently hovered and move the text in plain regular js.
if you give a description of what you really want to achieve, it is more than likely we can devise something that does not require unreliable clipboard access. if you have access to both the copy and paste sides, it is also very easy to emulate a dumb clipboard in js, and there should be codes around that do it. if you need it to work across multiple windows, you can for example clip the data in a cookie (2 lines on each side)

using Jquery with flash doesn't need to set google permission in javascript for clipboard security
that's because it's flash that is accessing the clipboard, not javascript.

http://www.jquery4u.com/plugins/jquery-copy-clipboard-4-options/
http://www.steamdev.com/zclip/
but those jquery kid can not copy the text with bold,italic,understand that were made before copy, since after copy, the text became in plain text and all ,<b>,<u>,<i> is deleted or not included

I agree, there's got to be a purpose and target audience, as has been stated. java applets and ActiveX are alternatives. They're all plugins that are given permission to run outside the security sandbox
Expert: skullnobrains replied at 2024-08-25 23:41:34
basically, your code is close, but you need to understand that most browsers will not allow you to programaticaly access the clipboard for obvious security reasons. if you do not target a specific bunch of users using a specific browser you have complete control over, my advice is just forget it.
maybe if you explain why you would want to do that, we can advice better ways of doing things.
if you're really interested in more generic alternatives, you'll find methods involving flash all over the internet

so in other words, we need to do javascript code for copy and paste by ourselve
do you have other method to do that ?

I'm not sure it's supported in Chrome: http://help.dottoro.com/larpvnhw.php. You can see that chrome is grayed out for both copy and paste.

execCommand() is only usable for documents that have designmode activated from what i read in the manual. google for it, you'll have plenty of explanations and working examples in w3shools, the mozilla docs, msdn, ...
i'm sorry but i do not have enough time right now to play with your code. anyway this is obviously test code just to learn how to use the feature so it won't do any good unless you do the writing
