Copy selected item's text from select control html

Question

I have a select control with pre defined values and I want my users to be able to copy the selected item\'s text with CTRL + C

I don\'t want them to be able to chang

Answer 1

As far as I know, it is not possible to mark the text of a option element. Copy text into clipboard without flash is impossible, too.

This solution is not the best, but it's the simplest:

    Orange
    Blue
    Red
    White

-

$('body').on('change', 'select', function() {
    $('input').val($(this).find(":selected").text()).select();
})

Just copy the text into a input field, so the user can select and copy it.
