HTML5 alternative to flash-based ZeroClipboard for safe copying of data to clipboard?

Question

With flash on the way out in many environments (iPhone, Android, IE10, etc...), is there any new solution forthcoming in any browsers that will allow a safe copy of informat

Answer 1

The reasoning is that automatic copying to clipboard can be very dangerous, thus most browsers (except IE)* make it difficult unless you use flash.

Much like your ZeroClipboard, there is Clipboard LMCButton which also uses a small flash script running in the background.

A common solution would be to do this:

 function copyToClipboard (text) {
     window.prompt ("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", text);
 }
