Question:
I am looking for a javascript function which can copy contents from TextArea into clipboard. On microsoft platform the function works fine, but it fails when I switch to non-microsoft platform such as, FireFox or Safari.
I referred this link for the function.
If anyone knows the solution for this, please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

A pure JavaScript solution for copying the contents of a textarea to the clipboard when the user clicks on the textarea:
<script> function copySelectionText(){ var copysuccess // var to check whether execCommand successfully executed try{ copysuccess = document.execCommand("copy") // run command to copy selected text to clipboard } catch(e){ copysuccess = false } return copysuccess } function copyfieldvalue(e, id){ var field = document.getElementById(id) field.select() var copysuccess = copySelectionText() } var bio = document.getElementById('mybio') bio.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e){ copyfieldvalue(e, 'mybio') var copysuccess = copySelectionText() // copy user selected text to clipboard }, false) </script> Note: If you want to copy only parts of the textarea contents to clipboard, the tutorial Reading and copying selected text to clipboard using JavaScript has more info on that.
