Working Copy to Clipboard Button
I've created a button to copy the content of a field to the clipboard that I thought would be useful to others. It copies the content of the field and then shows an alert that confirms what was cop...

Awesome contribution @Dana!! If I could add 1 small enhancement idea, in order to give it a more quickbase feel:
var text CB= URLEncode([Activity Details]);
var text Alert= URLEncode("Activity Details" & " were Copied to the Clipboard");
"<a class='Vibrant Success' style=\"border:0px solid green; background-color:green; text-align: center;\"href=" &
"javascript:{" &
"navigator.clipboard.writeText('" & $CB & "').then(function(){" &
"},function(){" &
"});" &
//"alert('" & $Alert & "');" &
"$.jGrowl('" & $Alert & "');" &
"};" &
">Copy to the Clipboard</a>"
Replacing your "alert" with "$.jgrowl" will throw the native QB growl message which is a little prettier than a javascript alert. FYI to everyone else -- this will work for any situation where you are using alerts in this fashion.

Thanks for the script, I'm using it and it works fine. I was wondering if there is a way to add formatting into the copying when there are multiple fields being copied. I'm copying a company name and address and it pastes all on one line. Is there a way to put carriage returns into the copy code so that the Company name is on one line and the address on the next line?
I have a second question. Is there a way to add an IF then statement to all this? I'd ideally like to have it such that if the country is the United States, it copies CompanyName, Street address, City, State ZIP, but it if it is outside the US, I'd like it to copy CompanyName, Street address, City, State ZIP, Country.

I don't really think that this has to do with the Copy button, but it's more about what field you are copying. I suggest that you do a separate post about how to create the formula that you want to create the target field to be copied.
