copy the url to clipboard if i click on hyperlink

Hi, 
    I have a hyperlink in visualforce page, if i click on hyperlink, the value should copy to clipboard

my vfp code;
<apex:outputLink  value="https://{!sfurll}/apex/CoreBenefit_PDF?id={!Returnid}" target="_blank" styleClass="newlink" >
Copy Url
</apex:outputLink>

If i click on "Copy Url", the "https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/CoreBenefit_PDF?id=kA690000000H1An" should be saved in clipboard

Use below code to copy URL in clipboard.
<script>
function copyToClipboard(text) 
{
if (window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData) {
    clipboardData.setData("Text", text);
}
}
</script>

<apex:outputLink onclick="copyToClipboard('https://{!sfurll}/apex/CoreBenefit_PDF?id={!Returnid}');" value="https://{!sfurll}/apex/CoreBenefit_PDF?id={!Returnid}" target="_blank" styleClass="newlink" >
Copy Url
</apex:outputLink>

You can also modified the above code as per your need also.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't work, it simply opens the page with url=https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/CoreBenefit_PDF?id=kA690000000H1An.
Do i need to include any script???


My code:
<apex:page standardController="Core_Benefit__kav" extensions="GetURL" standardStylesheets="false" id="corebenefit"  sidebar="false">
 
  <script>
function copyToClipboard(text)
{
if (window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData) {
    clipboardData.setData("Text", text);
}
}
</script>
   
<apex:outputLink onclick="copyToClipboard('https://{!sfurll}/apex/CoreBenefit_PDF?id={!Returnid}');" value="https://{!sfurll}/apex/CoreBenefit_VFP?id={!Returnid}" target="_blank">
Copy Url
</apex:outputLink>      
</apex:page>
