I was thinking of doing this but in a different way. Great idea though! Now I won't need to do it.  |

sure it does, just place your mouse pointer over the  and then right click and choose "Copy Shortcut".
Functionality of the MOD has changed so the above is no longer applicable. |

| Would it not be better to copy the URL to the clipboard as the image title suggests? |

Yes it would. I'm not a programmer and I have not figured out how to do just that. Any suggestions are welcome.

It can be done, but it's Internet Explorer specific, it wouldn't work in other browsers.

DOH! I was going to try and impress everyone around here with what I was doing. Guess I was trying to reinvent the wheel. And yes, it is IE specific, but still worth implementing I think.
Here is the idea I was running with:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
function getIt(id){
alert(id);
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.somesite.com?blah=1&blah=2" id="site1" onclick="getIt(this.href); return false;">Cool Site</a><br>
<a href="http://www.somesite.com?blah=3&blah=4" id="site2" onclick="getIt(this.href); return false;">Cool Site2</a>
</body>
</html>
instead of alerting the value, I would use the IE specific code for placing the value in the clipboard. |

Okay, I've tried. I just cannot figure out how, using javascript, to copy the text that is currently in the link. I can do it if I output the link into a textbox. But you do not what that all over the topic page.  |

Hmm, I use a different javascript function to copy the data to the clipboard.function copySel(field){
field.focus();
field.select();
// The following code copies the selected text to the clip board
// This only works in IE and will be ignored by other browsers
txtRange = field.createTextRange()
txtRange.execCommand("Copy")
}This is used in conjunction with a text box. Of course it's IE only too. But I didn't know there were other ways of copying info to the clipboard. |

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function ClipBoard(cpyurl)

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

Thanks Richard. Nothing like having it spelled out for you. It works perfectly.

It does now. Well, for IE anyway. |

| I was just thinking. Since this only works for IE, should not even display in other browsers? |

I would alert a message when the icon is clicked for Netscape users letting them know to right click and select copy shortcut. |
