I just wanted to offer an update, since there have been some recent developments on this front. Modern browsers, except for Safari support copying via JS, using the execCommand() api.

Assuming you build your UI to gracefully degrade to manual copying for Safari, you could implement copy-to-clipboard on the rest of them. Presumably, Safari will include support for this eventually.

Look at https://clipboardjs.com/ and http://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-copy-to-clipboard/ for options.

Browsers supported, as of writing: Chrome 42+, Firefox 41+, IE 9+, Opera 29+.
