It does not give accurate information for javascript. It will for aspx... I'm trying to get this done in javascript, and the acceptable datatype is "Rtf" according to the MSDN website - but this does not work for me... any ideas? -galactic

I don't know where you got that from. From MSDN: | Parameters | sDataFormat Required. A String that specifies the format | of the data to be transferred, using one of | the following values. | | Text Transfers data formatted as text. | URL Transfers data formatted as a URL.

But, RTF could mean the Word processing format from Microsoft, which is coded in text. What Galactic mean was probably rich text or formatted web page content. -- Bwig Zomberi

First, create a range out of paragraph element with CreateRange. Then use the method execCommand("Copy") on that range. This will copy the paragraph rich text to the clipboard. *You do not have to get your hands dirty with window.clipboardData.* After you do this, the copied paragraph is available for programs that can handle rich text in the clipboard. For example, you can open a New Message window in Outlook or a Word document and do a Paste command. execCommand will work on a document, range or selection. BTW, I hope by Rich Text you meant formatted web page content, not Microsoft Word RTF. MS' RTF is also coded in text and can possibly be done in JavaScript but your brain will melt. -- Bwig Zomberi

The Outlook Signature interface (outlook version 2003 11.8) will only accept a url as a Microsoft RTF Piece! (Tools->Options->tabMailFormat->Signiatures. It will not accept - say an "A" tag.. any HTML just get's copied as "shown" HTML tags... but It will accept a Microsoft Document copied URL from Excel or Word.. My business requirements are to be able to leverage this type of copy straight from a web page... I learned a little Rtf language, but need to tell the copy mechanism this is the type of format I'm using... Thanks for really trying to understand. I appreciate any help you can suggest more than you know. -William |
