Copy and paste the selected text to the clipboard using JavaScript

Question

I\'m building a custom right-click menu for my system and I need to know how can I make a JavaScript function to copy the selected text, basically 100% like the original rig

For non-IE browsers you will most likely have to use a flash solution. For IE, however, this method works perfectly:

function copyToClipboard(s) {           //only works in IE :(
    if (window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData) {
        clipboardData.setData('text', s);
    }
}
