umh, no, nn ho capito niente 
nn sono esperto di javascript (a dire il vero nn c'è niente in cui sia esperto nel campo della programmazione) cmq,
ho provato a inserire la funzione da te segnalata all'interno del mio script e richiamarla, ma senza risultato
ecco il codice che ho provato ..
codice:
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
/*
Select and Copy form element script- By Dynamicdrive.com

*/
//specify whether contents should be auto copied to clipboard (memory)
//Applies only to IE 4+
//0=no, 1=yes
var copytoclip=1
function HighlightAll(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
if (document.all&©toclip==1){
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange=copy_clip(therange)
//therange.execCommand("Copy") -- -riga tolta dal codice...ad intuito :D
window.status="Contents highlighted and copied to clipboard!"
setTimeout("window.status=''",1800)
}
}

function copy_clip(meintext)
{
if (window.clipboardData)
{
// the IE-manier
window.clipboardData.setData("Text", meintext);
// waarschijnlijk niet de beste manier om Moz/NS te detecteren;
// het is mij echter onbekend vanaf welke versie dit precies werkt:
}
else if (window.netscape)
{
// dit is belangrijk maar staat nergens duidelijk vermeld:
// you have to sign the code to enable this, or see notes below
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');
// maak een interface naar het clipboard
var clip = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;1']
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard);
if (!clip) return;
// maak een transferable
var trans = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/transferable;1']
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsITransferable);
if (!trans) return;
// specificeer wat voor soort data we op willen halen; text in dit geval
trans.addDataFlavor('text/unicode');
// om de data uit de transferable te halen hebben we 2 nieuwe objecten
// nodig om het in op te slaan
var str = new Object();
var len = new Object();
var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string;1"]
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString);
var copytext=meintext;
str.data=copytext;
trans.setTransferData("text/unicode",str,copytext.length*2);
var clipid=Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard;
if (!clip) return false;
clip.setData(trans,null,clipid.kGlobalClipboard);
}
alert("Following info was copied to your clipboard:\n\n" + meintext);
return false;
}

</script>
