Copying link text as you click on it?

I have a website with various links on it. I would like to know if it is possible to code the links in a fashion where once a user clicks on the link, the link text is copied to the user's clipboard while the opening of the link is initiated.

Thanks in advance!

This is possible but only reliable if you use flash which is a big downfall, there are libraries like zero clipboard that are good for this, but other than that its quite a tedious job. This cant be done cross browser with javascript

You can use Zero Clipboard to do the copying and set the onclick handler of the link.

<a onclick="copyMyText(this)" href="url">Text here</a>
