cut, copy and paste, open new windows in web browser

To select, cut, copy and paste text in the Symbian s60 default web browser, I built http://mobitol.com which pops the text content of whatever website you want into a text box for easy editing. It also gets html source code and can open new windows- two features left out of the browser. I've only tested it on my Nokia e61i but it should work for other s60 phones as well. I'd be interested to hear if it works for you.

Hi Cousinisaac! I'm very happy to see your post bcoz i'm looking for the way to highlight text from webpages like articles and copy paste to word, in nokia 5800. i've not buy the phone yet bcoz i'm afraid i can't perform this task and no point buying it. can you tell me how's the software you developed going so far?

I've read from this forum some of the user said:

Hold down the pen key + joystick to highlight text.
Copy option then become available.
With text in buffer, holding pen key reveals paste option.

but this is for non touch screen phones..

Can you please give me some advice?

I am pretty much surprised . This quote is done through Mobitol , in E90 using MiniOpera . Thanks a lot ...
