Copy and paste the selected text to the clipboard using JavaScript

Question

I\'m building a custom right-click menu for my system and I need to know how can I make a JavaScript function to copy the selected text, basically 100% like the original rig

Answer 1

no idea if this will work, but a google search yielded:

function getSel(){
  var w=window,d=document,gS='getSelection';
  return (''+(w[gS]?w[gS]():d[gS]?d[gS]):d.selection.createRange().text)).replace(/(^\s+|\s+$)/g,'');
}
