This is what I want:
When the user selects a value from a select-box I want the value to be copied to the clipboard. Is this possible using ActiveX or Javascript or something?

I think that use of DECMD_COPY is one way to go. I just don't know how.

If the option above is absolutely impossible:
I have a textfield at right of the select-box. When a value is selected from the select-box, it's inserted into the textfield. That part is easy(document.forms[0].text1.value = document.forms[0].select1.value). But I want the text in that textfield to be selected, so that the user could simply click Ctrl+C to copy it to the Clipboard. Could anyone give me the code that makes this selection?

All I need is some code that works in IE for Windows.

Thank you!
