Lots of little things, see red type


<script [COLOR=Red]type="text/javascript"[/COLOR]>

function ClipBoard()
{
alert("copied");
window.clipboardData.setData("Text",document.links.txtbox1[COLOR=Red].value[/COLOR]);
}


</script>



<form [COLOR=Red]name[/COLOR]=[COLOR=Red]"[/COLOR]links[COLOR=Red]"[/COLOR]>
<input type="text"  [COLOR=Red]name[/COLOR]="txtbox1" class="formtext" on[COLOR=Red]c[/COLOR]lick=[COLOR=Red]"[/COLOR]highlight(this)[COLOR=Red]"[/COLOR] style="width: 400px" size="70" value="dummy text" /><br />
<BUTTON on[COLOR=Red]c[/COLOR]lick="ClipBoard()">Copy</BUTTON>
</form>

function ClipBoard()
{
if (window.clipboardData) {
   alert("copied");
   window.clipboardData.setData("Text",document.links.txtbox1.value);
}
}

That way the alert wont come up telling people it is copied when it isn’t where the browser is not Internet Explorer (only IE allows the page to access the clipboard).
