Save input value

Question

When I click on Save I want my saveFunction to save the value that is inside the input.

function saveFunction(){
    calculator.result.value
 }

I know i am going to feel stupid after this:)

<li><a href="#" style="text-decoration:none; color:black;" onClick="saveFunction()">Edit</a></li>

i need it saved... so i can use ctrl+v to display it on another page... i will need the function to work like ctrl+c — emcee22

Do you want to save to clipboard? This is not possible with only JavaScript. — Ja͢ck

To save the value within the clipboard you can use this library: https://github.com/jonrohan/ZeroClipboard

Currently because if security issues the manipulation of the clipboard using JavaScript is not allowed (at least it's not cross-browser).
