    Hello,

    Normally when you go to voucher websites, they make you click on a button to copy the voucher code to your clipboard and whilst clicking, the website will open in a new window.

    I am looking for this sort of Javascript.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I have seen that before but not looking for that sort of thing.

    I want a button where it says Copy or press here and then copy's another piece of text which the user cant see.

    execCommand only works for Internet Explorer. If you want a method that works across all browsers, try Zeroclipboard
