I'm running into a problem trying to copy the values of some hidden variables to the clipboard. I'm trying to implement the solution seen here:

The only problem is that I don't know how to then call this function to copy the values of some hidden variables. I created a HTML region that displays after the header with the following:

<script type="text/javascript">

function copy(inElement) 
{
  if (inElement.createTextRange) 
  {
    var range = inElement.createTextRange();
    if (range && BodyLoaded==1)
      range.execCommand('Copy');
  } 
  
  else 
  {
    var flashcopier = 'flashcopier';

    if(!document.getElementById(flashcopier)) 
    {
      var divholder = document.createElement('div');
      divholder.id = flashcopier;
      document.body.appendChild(divholder);
    }

    document.getElementById(flashcopier).innerHTML = '';

    var divinfo = '<embed src="& C_SYSIMG_PATH._clipboard.swf" FlashVars="clipboard='+encodeURIComponent(inElement.value)+'" width="0" height="0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>';

    document.getElementById(flashcopier).innerHTML = divinfo;
  }
}

</script>

I then created a Display As Text item and used the following for it's source value:

a href="javascript:copy(&P2911_TITLE.);" COPY POSTING TITLE! /a

(I know the preceding line isn't a valid a href tag, but it wouldn't let me include the greater than and less than signs without making an actual link, even though I'm putting it all between pre and /pre tags)

I thought that's all I would have to do, and that by clicking on this link, it would copy the value of P2911_TITLE to the clipboard, but instead it doesn't do anything. Any thoughts? I even tried creating a button and calling the function through onclick, but that didn't work either. Really have no clue as to why this isn't working. Anyone? Thanks!
