How to make a text input area, but you can't type on it, and there's a button connected to the text input to copy the text.
You can create a text input area that is not editable by the user and a button to copy its content using HTML and JavaScript. Here's a simple example:
html Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Copy Text Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id="myText" rows="4" cols="50" readonly>This text cannot be edited.</textarea><br>
<button onclick="copyText()">Copy Text</button>
<script>
function copyText() {
const textArea = document.getElementById("myText");
textArea.select();
document.execCommand("copy");
alert("Text copied: " + textArea.value);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
In this example:
<textarea> has the readonly attribute, which prevents the user from typing in it.onclick event that calls the copyText function.copyText function selects the text and uses document.execCommand("copy") to copy it to the clipboard.You can try this code in your HTML file and see how it works!
π©βπ» Awesome! Except, could you include some styling and make the clipboard button show on the top right above the text input and show <p> text on the left of the top of the text input? Thanks!
Sure! Hereβs an updated version of the code that includes some styling to position the button at the top right above the text input and add a <p> tag on the left at the top:
html Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Copy Text Example</title>
<style>
.container {
position: relative;
max-width: 400px;
margin: 20px;
}
#myText {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 40px; /* Space for the button */
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#copyButton {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
background-color: #4CAF50; /* Green */
color: white;
border: none;
padding: 10px 15px;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
}
#copyButton:hover {
background-color: #45a049; /* Darker green */
}
p {
margin: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<p>This is some text next to the input:</p>
<button id="copyButton" onclick="copyText()">Copy Text</button>
<textarea id="myText" readonly>This text cannot be edited.</textarea>
</div>
<script>
function copyText() {
const textArea = document.getElementById("myText");
textArea.select();
document.execCommand("copy");
alert("Text copied: " + textArea.value);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
In this updated code:
<p> tag is added above the textarea to display some text.You can use this code in your HTML file, and it should meet your requirements!

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. π€―
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here π
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! π Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! ππͺ
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! π
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! π
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. π©βπ»π€π»
