Javascript – Copy div text to clipboard

Here’s a Javascript function, which copies the text from a div to the own clipboard for copy & paste:

<button onclick="CopyToClipboard('text')">Copy text</button>

<script>
function CopyToClipboard(containerid) {
if (document.selection) {
var range = document.body.createTextRange();
range.moveToElementText(document.getElementById(containerid));
range.select().createTextRange();
document.execCommand("copy");
} else if (window.getSelection) {
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementById(containerid));
window.getSelection().addRange(range);
document.execCommand("copy");
alert("text copied")
}}
</script>



<div id="text">blaaaaa</div>
