Click to copy Hidden Field

Yoni

Hey All, Ive been looking for hours trying to search for a fix for
this. I want to click to copy a Hidden Field. I have the following
script but when hidding the field it says it wont work. Any
Ideas.There are 2 example ones that works (non-Hidden) and one that
doesnt (Hidden). I don't need both to work only the hidden one to
start working.

Thanks in advanced.

<head>
<script>
function copyToClipboard(field)
{
var content = eval("document."+field)
content.focus()
content.select()
range = content.createTextRange()
range.execCommand("Copy")
window.status="Contents copied to clipboard"
setTimeout("window.status=''",1800)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name=myform1>
<input type=hidden name=mytext1 value='This Hidden Field Wont Copy'></
form>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:copyToClipboard('myform1.mytext1')"
value="Send to Clipboard">1<a/>


<form name=myform2>
<input type=text name=mytext2 value='This non hidden field will
copy.'>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:copyToClipboard('myform2.mytext2')"
value="Send to Clipboard">2<a/>
</form>
</body>

On the majority of other browsers scripted clipboard manipulations are
rightly considered dangerous so they either require extended
privileges over script signing (Gecko browsers) or simply not allowed
at all.

If you care about IE only, then this is the solution right above, you
don't need to bother with textRange. If you need a universal solution
than first drop the current approach as not doable. As the global
rule: unless user does come real mechanical actions to copy/past some
content, you have no means to enforce it on him - yet you may prompt
him for actions.
