HOW TO: Clickable Smiley Panel
Comments available as RSS 2.0
If you spend alot of time on forums, there’s an easy way to make a panel of clickable images which copy the location of the image to your clipboard so you can paste it onto a forum. It’s good for emoticons or anything else which takes a while to type out. You can arrange the images any way you want, then add the following piece of Javascript to the head:
<script type="text/javascript"> function toclip(iurl) { if(document.getElementById('forum').checked) { var imgtext = '[img]'+iurl+'[/img]'; } else { var imgtext = '<img src="'+iurl+'" alt="" />'; } if (window.clipboardData) { window.clipboardData.setData("Text", imgtext); //IE } else if (window.netscape) { netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect'); var clip = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard1']. createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard); if (!clip) return; var trans = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/transferable1']. createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsITransferable); if (!trans) return; trans.addDataFlavor('text/unicode'); var str = new Object(); var len = new Object(); var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string1"]. createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString); var copytext=imgtext; str.data=copytext; trans.setTransferData("text/unicode",str,copytext.length*2); var clipid=Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard; if (!clip) return false; clip.setData(trans,null,clipid.kGlobalClipboard); } // alert("Following info was copied to your clipboard:\n\n" + iurl); return false; } </script>
Then to copy the text to the clipboard when the icon is clicked, call the function with Javascript:
<a onclick="toclip('http://url//of/image.gif');" href="#"><img src="image.gif" alt="Woot" /></a>
The function works fine with IE, but to get it working in Firefox, you need to allow Firefox clipboard access. Type about:config into the address bar, then 'signed' as the filter, and set the value to true.
Hi is there any way to copy an image from an ASP.net Iframe into the clipboard?
I’d think it would work the same way, since it’s a client side thing.
