Hi,
I am trying to write custom Select All, copy, cut and paste functions which I intend to access from a custom context menu
However I can't get the paste function to work it replaces everything in the textarea rather than 1. the selected text or 2. insert at the cursor location
Can anyone see what the problem is and how to fix it?
Regards Allan

Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.highlighttext{ background-color:yellow;font-weight:bold;}
</style>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--

//specify whether contents should be auto copied to clipboard (memory)

//0=no, 1=yes
var copytoclip=0
function HighlightAll(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
if (document.all&©toclip==1){
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Copy")
}
}
var copiedtext=""
var tempstore=""
function Copy() {
if (document.all){
tempstore=copiedtext
document.execCommand("Copy")
copiedtext=window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
}
}
function Cut() {
if (document.all){
tempstore=copiedtext
document.execCommand("Cut")
copiedtext=window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
}
}
[b]function Paste(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
if (document.all){
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Paste")
}
}[/b]

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="test">
<a class="highlighttext" href="javascript:HighlightAll('test.select1')">Select All</a> |
<a class="highlighttext" href="javascript:Copy()">Copy</a> |
<a class="highlighttext" href="javascript:Cut()">Cut</a> |
<a class="highlighttext" href="javascript:Paste('test.select1')">Paste</a>
<br />
<textarea name="select1" rows="10" cols="35" >This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.</textarea>
</form>
<p>The Paste function is not complete, it replaces everything in the textarea rather than the selected text or insert at the cursor location
</p>
</body>
</html>
