A sentence or two might be okay under fair use, but I do have to ask if you've actually looked at the underlying words/code that got copied? I always look at whatever I cut and paste. Merely a heads up.

Thanks, but my point is how do they do this so the Read More shows automatically when it is copied and pasted? I did look at the code and can't tell how this is done.

PaulPA, What do you mean by "I copied"? How did you copy this content? In any case look at the source of the page (HTML) and try to get what you need from there or first paste to Notepad, edit then copy and paste to your site.

you can do it with javascript. there's a site called tynt that does it for you if you don't mind adding their script.

I've seen that as well. It's on some major media sites. When you mark a sentence or two with the mouse and choose "copy" what is copied to the clipboard is your selection plus something extra, including a link to the page. Al londrum wrote above, it's javascript. It's not all that complicated but it's rather annoying IMHO (I prefer to add and format the links myself).

I have a script in Visual Basic for ASP pages that does it if that is the language your site is in.

Thanks to all. I'm not sure I'm really interested in adding it to my site as it is annoying. I was more curious as to how it is done.
