    I have text in the iframe and I was wondering how I can have users simply click anywhere in the iframe then automatically select all the text in the iframe and have it automatically copied so all they have to do is paste...

    Here is the code I have so far.

    I can't think of a way to do exactly what you need, but if you could provide some more details as to why you want the user to do this and where they will be pasting it too there might be another solution to your problem...

    Unfortunately, you will be hard-pressed to try and find a script that will work on all browsers since they all handle it differently. The JavaScript example mentioned above should do the work for Windows XP users on IE. I believe it does not work on Vista if memory serves, but I might be wrong on that one.
