The picture doesn't help too much. Can you post the code? I can show you how to work the example I sent you into your code.

I started with Experts Exchange in 2004 and it's been a mainstay of my professional computing life since. It helped me launch a career as a programmer / Oracle data analyst

Try this:

Replace your javascript with this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function clipper(value) {
alert("Clipboard = \n\n" + value);
window.clipboardData.setData("Text", value);
}
</script>

Then change your link to this:

<asp:LinkButton OnClientClick='clipper("<%# Eval("ID") %>");return false' Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' runat="server" />

Can you be more specific about how it doesn't work? Do you get some sort of error? Do you see the alert but the data is not copied to the clipboard? etc.

hmmm ..
i did not get any error , and i don't get any response , and did not copy it to clipboard

i put LinkButton in gridview as template filed and edited script as you tell me
and also added code for LinkButton
<asp:LinkButton OnClientClick='clipper("<%# Eval("ID") %>");return false' Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' runat="server" />

it's just display value in grid for field ( ID )

Please ,

I think there are some problems with the quotes, try this.

<asp:LinkButton OnClientClick='clipper(<%# Eval("ID") %>);return false;' Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' runat="server" />

Also, change the script

<script type="text/javascript">
function clipper(value) {
clipboardData.setData("Text", value);
}
</script>

What browser are you using? If your using Internet Explorer you will probably see a yellow exclamation in the lower left corner of the browser after trying the copy. This means there was a javascript error. Double click the exclamation for error details.

Dear jmwheeler

i don't think that is problem with my machine ..

i don't have experience in java script but i think when you use something in inside gridview like label it's will change ID FOR This label , because it's inside gridview

your editor code in javascript was not definition the button link

please review your code and make sure that inside gridview

my best regards

Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
