How to copy text from a div to clipboard

Question

Here is my code for when the user clicks on this button:

<button id="button1">Click to copy</button>

How do I copy the text inside this div?

<div id="div1">Text To Copy</div>

Answer 1

Both examples work like a charm :)

1. JAVASCRIPT:

   function CopyToClipboard(containerid) {
     if (document.selection) {
       var range = document.body.createTextRange();
       range.moveToElementText(document.getElementById(containerid));
       range.select().createTextRange();
       document.execCommand("copy");
     } else if (window.getSelection) {
       var range = document.createRange();
       range.selectNode(document.getElementById(containerid));
       window.getSelection().addRange(range);
       document.execCommand("copy");
       alert("Text has been copied, now paste in the text-area")
     }
   }

   <button id="button1" onclick="CopyToClipboard('div1')">Click to copy</button>
   <br /><br />
   <div id="div1">Text To Copy </div>
   <br />
   <textarea placeholder="Press ctrl+v to Paste the copied text" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea>
