  • Why doesn’t Cow allow a copy?

    Posted by Bob Peterson on November 18, 2009 at 7:26 am

    On most other websites, I can copy text by highlighting it with the left mouse button, and then copy it by using the right button. On Cow, the text will not highlight. I have to either retype the text, or perform a screen print which is then run through OCR. It’s a major PIA when I’m trying to save a tip.

    Why does Cow disable the copy function?

    Seems to work just fine for me. I highlight with left mouse click-hold, right click copied, then right click pasted.

    Which OS and Browser do you use?

    You try left click drag “Ctrl C” then “Ctrl V” even if it doesn’t look like it is highlighted. Even holding down “Ctrl A” then, while still holding Ctrl, pressing “C” and then pasting. This worked for me as well, although it copies the entire page down.

    I use XP Pro, and Firefox. I did try Ctrl C, and, to my surprise, it did work. Thanks!
