You can only use one BODY element. Here's a basic example:
CODE <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Page title goes here</title> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> /* CSS goes here (optional) */ </style> </head> <body> Body content goes here </body> </html> Didn't check what the INPUT elements are used for, but for longer pieces of multiline text TEXTAREA would be a better form element. |

We can help with your questions...
What do you want to do with the page, create an HTML structure? If it's only for your own use I guess you could use whatever works for you. Do you want paragraphs, bullet lists, tables? |

QUOTE(Allen Robberson @ Mar 23 2022, 11:47 PM)  I want 8 to 10 predefined text string with a copy button for each. so that i dont have to copy the text from a text file that i am using now You could put each text string in almost any HTML element. Javascript can detect clicks and copy the contents of any clickable element. Simple example: CODE <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Library</title> </head> <body> <p>Lorem ipsum</p> <p>Dolor sit amet</p> <script> // javascript goes here </script> </body> </html> If you have no other P elements on the page, the javascript can simply loop through the P elements, and when a click is detected copy the innerText of the clicked P to the browser's clipboard (assuming your browser allows changing the clipboard contents). Perhaps it could also change the color of the last clicked P in order to prevent mistakes. If you do want other P elements on the page, you could use CLASS attributes or a container element around the groups you want to separate in the script. |

They don't need to be in text boxes just that when i click the button it would copy the text. https://imgur.com/fManmpp |

QUOTE(pandy @ Mar 24 2022, 01:54 PM) Yeah, but the OP said he just wanted to copy the text. I'd say it's much more work to first select a block of text (perhaps by double or triple clicking) and press Ctrl+C, compared with just clocking a button once; especially if you have to do it lots of times.

To make the actual copying work, you need javascript as well. Alas I haven't done something similar for many years so it would likely take me a while. Edit: it was easier than I remembered: CODE <script type="text/javascript"> window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { var input=document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var i=0; i<input.length; i++) { if(input[i].type=='button') { input[i].onclick=function() { var text_field=this.previousElementSibling; // assumes each text field is before its button text_field.select(); document.execCommand('copy'); } } } }, false); </script> The above should copy the text to the clipboard (tested in Firefox and Vivaldi), but I wasn't able to make the script paste text from the clipboard to a TEXTAREA in turn. Maybe you need to set special browser permissions for that, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/We...ontent#security |
