I would like to set a few textareas up so that when a user clicks on a field it will automatically select all and issue a control-c or command-c (depending on the os) in order to copy the text to the clipboard.

Check out zClip, it is a jQuery plugin that allows you to do this:

It does use Flash to copy to the clipboard, but that’s to avoid the browser restrictions preventing this from being done only in javascript.
