Does anyone know how to create a link which, when clicked, copies the anchor text to the user's clipboard and opens the destination in a new window?
For example, picture this link:
<a href="webform.com">ID: 12345</a>
It will look like this on the page:
ID: 12345
When someone clicks the link, ID: 12345 must be copied to the user's clipboard and webform.com must be opened in a new window.
Anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
I guess you'll find this link (http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3458851) useful.
pp: Myabe it's better to store value in cookie instead of copy to clipboard
Regards.

Thanks, Koko5, but that only works with IE. Plus, it doesn't copy the anchor text.

Copy to Clipboard using Flash (http://www.javascriptbank.com/javascript/form/copy-to-clipboard-using-flash/detail/)
customize this JavaScript (http://www.javascriptbank.com) for your need, work on all browsers

Thanks, guys, but those won't work. The text to be copied must be the anchor text of the link, and when the link is clicked, the destination must be opened in a new window. For an example, click here (http://www.couponcabin.com) and refer to the coupon code links.
Even so, thanks for trying. One rep point for each of you. :)
Can anyone else help?

Does anybody know how to do this? I have asked in two other forums and nobody has responded.
Is it very difficult or something?
