Onclick copy & paste generated textarea?

because I'm lazy, I mean efficient

I'm trying to make a text link generator for myself because it would save keystrokes and my wrist and prevents some of my typing mistakes.

I want to be able to copy and paste the generated text with one click. But I can't figure out how. Could someone give me a hand?

thanks

I mean select and copy. Jeez. Sorry.

You'll need to edit your post to remove your link. Against the TOS here.

And welcome to WebmasterWorld - you'll be able to do what you want with some simple Javascript, but you're starting that already.

OK, I finally found what I was looking for at Dynamic Drive - "Select (and copy) Form Element Script All".

And I'm sorry I should have posted to Html and browsers. But I thought that was about html-browser issues. Could oilman please move this or delete my post. Thanks.
