just so you know the copy you actually wanted to implement will always be implemented already by the environment e.g text editor, browser or operating system(linux, windows etc). The code above doesn't create the copy command but rather display success or failure message. Your image showing the dialogue menu for copy, cut etc are implemented by android environment.

let btn = document. querySelector("button"); btn.addEventListener("click", function(){ // get div with content you want to manipulate let txt = document.querySelector("div").innerHTML; // now u can use "txt" above to control what to do with the content or texts. e.g // you could append another text to it // output the text in another div...etc })

Wow! thought you wanted to learn, instead of upvoting you are thinking of making it your code...Lol. You may go ahead copy and use it OK. I didn't make it public it's your code. Happy coding!

'successful' : 'unsuccessful'; console.log('Copying text command was ' + msg); } catch (err) { console.log('Oops, unable to copy'); } }); </script>
