Hidden element won't copy to clipboard

Question

I am trying to add button to copy simple text string but without success.

Answer 1

You can't .select() a hidden element that has visibility: hidden; or display: none; but you can do something like this:

function kopiraj() {
  var copyText = document.getElementById("toCopy");
  copyText.select();
  document.execCommand("Copy");
}

[aria-hidden="true"] {
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: -9999;
  pointer-events: none;
}

Copy
