How can I select all text in a textbox and copy it to the clipboard using JavaScript / jQuery?
I have a textbox with an "Add to Clipboard" button next to it. Whenever the copy to clipboard button is clicked, I want the contents of the clipboard to be copied to the clipboard and run in the browser via Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. I can use jQuery or regular JavaScript .
How can I do that?

It looks like the jQuery clipboard plugin can do the job well. You can also use selector notation besides the utility$.copy
EDIT:
ZeroClipboard is a different choice and it looks like it works (tested in Firefox 3.5, IE 6 and Chrome)
