IE only:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function copyId(x){
var saver = document.getElementById('saver')
saver.value=x.id
var objectje = saver.createTextRange();
objectje.execCommand("Copy");
}
</script>

<div id='abc'
onclick = 'copyId(this)'>
click<br>here
</div>


<textarea id='saver' style='display:none;'>
</textarea>

IE has functions to do this quickly looking in google

You can also do this in other browsers if they have flash.

This above example doesn't work like you want but if you use the same
swf file that makes it work and dynamically write the embed element
into the page then you can copy to the clipboard whenever you want.
