For security reasons, Firefox doesn't allow you to place text on the clipboard. However, there is a workaround available using Flash. function copyIntoClipboard(text) { var flashId = 'flashId-HKxmj5'; /* Replace this with your clipboard.swf location */ var clipboardSWF = 'http://appengine.bravo9.com/copy-into-clipboard/clipboard.swf'; if(!document.getElementById(flashId)) { var div = document.createElement('div'); div.id = flashId; document.body.appendChild(div); } document.getElementById(flashId).innerHTML = ''; var content = ''; document.getElementById(flashId).innerHTML = content; } The only disadvantage is that this requires Flash to be enabled.
