I am a javascript dummy:

Does anyone know how to make javascript copy all the contents of a frame
to the clipboard?

I would like to use forms in javascript to create a text page in a
different frame that could be pasted into a wordprocessing document. I
think I can figure that out, eventually. However, it would be nice not
to force the user to select and copy to get the frame contents into
the clipboard. (Lazy users rule!!) This would have to work in a windows
environment, and it will be all client side javascript.

Any insight appreciated,

Joel
