Answer 2

+1 A:

Flash is the only solution i think (at least, when I looked for the same solution a few years ago). Here is a complete example and some interesting comments. You should find what you need.

As a complement : ZeroClipboard seems to be a recent and serious project and has a complete documentation, and some working examples.http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/

what is the full URL for: <embed src="/zeroclipboard.js"> ?

Everything's here http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/wiki/Instructions It is a library so you have to import it, then declare a "client" in your javascript function, and save text using client.setText(YourSelection). I can't make it magic.
