set clipboard content in any browser

Question

I need to set my user's clipboard when they trigger an event on my webpage. I realize each browser has a different way to do this, so do you know of a library or code snippet that will achieve this cross-browser?

Answer 1

This article might help you with that : Copy to Clipboard with Javascript on Mozilla firefox and IE

The basic idea is to :

• use window.clipboardData for Internet Explorer
• and use some flash component for Mozilla

Seems that this doesn't work with Flash 10, though, from some reports I've seen (never tried myself)

And/Or here is another solution (still using Flash -- but seems to be working with Flash 10, for this one) : Zero Clipboard
