Copy Text to Clipboard using Zero Clipboard

Posted · Category: MIT License, Tools

The ZeroClipboard library provides an easy way to copy text to the clipboard using an invisible Adobe Flash movie and a JavaScript interface. The “Zero” signifies that the library is invisible and the user interface is left entirely up to you.

This library is fully compatible with Flash Player 10.0.0 and above, which requires that the clipboard copy operation be initiated by a user click event inside the Flash movie. This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a DOM element of your choice. Works in IE7+ and all of the evergreen browsers.
