Grab current URL and put to clipboard.

[Yogev]

Hi,
Looking for the solution:
I want to click on my own button on ToolBar of IE6 and to activate
the javascript that put the current URL (from location/address line of IE)
to clipboard.
My first try to do something practical with javascript, like a study case.
Thanks
Yogev

And what have you tried so far?

Everything you need to know to do that is very easily found in the archives.

read window.location.href
copy to clipboard.

As long as we're talking about IE only:

<input type="button"
onClick="window.clipboardData.setData('Text',window.location.href)"
value="mybutton">
