copy to clipboard - not working in FF,Chrome

Question

I am using below mentioned javascript to copy the text to clipboard. Its working in IE, but not working in Firefox and Chrome.

Please advice me,What is wrong?

Answer 1

The clipboard manipulation is not cross-browser. For cross-browser solution you need flash.

Look at this library https://github.com/jonrohan/ZeroClipboard

You can use ZeroClipboard like this:

Copy to Clipboard

When you click on the button the text Copy me! will be put into the clipboard.

For further instructions check the library's API https://github.com/jonrohan/ZeroClipboard/blob/master/docs/instructions.md
