Do you mean ctrl+c <-> ctrl+v? Right click -> Copy? Build? OS?

[wknplaya]

i mean www.packetnews.com when u click a link it adds info to the clipboard so that when u press ctrl+v it will paste it......this doesn;t work in mozyF for some reason .

Also www.di.fm when i click oon a music link mozilla/mozilla f does not open the player extension[winamp or windows mediaplayer]."
and why does mozilla have a built in mirc? why can;t it just load the regular mirc install??[filed under pointless feature]. k thx.


[edit][ok squash the winamp bit i found a way around it ...but still this feature would be helpfull for audio links on the net that load a specific player][/edit]

It's because Mozilla doesn't support the window.clipboardData object or the window.clipboardData.setData() method. Those are proprietary to MS Internet Explorer. There is also a method that works in Mozilla, but it requires a bit more code and a security privileges prompt.

I don't really understand what you're trying to do... Basically you should just right click and choose "Copy link location". This will copy the address to the OS's clipboard.
Ragurdaing irc:// links, you should use Mozilla or the Chatzilla extension...

I don;t want the irc:// link it works fine and opens mirc if u were to use packetnews and mouse over a packet u will notice a mouse over that says /msg yada yada yada this is supposed to be sent to clipboard when u click it. but it is not .


[edit] ah squash that as well lol i figured how to get the /msg .[/edit] link properties

There is another way to copy to the clipBoard. With the following method you are not dependant on what browser the user has, BUT your user does need the flashplayer 7 plugin or higher.........

Here's how it goes:

In a flashmovie make a button with the following action:

on (release) {
System.setClipboard(_root.copy_var);
}

There are two ways you can populate the "copy_var" variable inside flash:

1) Using swLiveConnect (not supported by all browsers) --> window.document.mymovie.SetVariable("copy_var","whatever");

2) Or by appending you text to the movie parameter via GET (works in all browsers) --> <param name="movie" VALUE="mymovie.swf?copy_var=whatever">

There is a restriction that you can only copy text to the clipBoard though, and no other data formats Smile

Give it a go and let me know if you find this fix usefull.
