链接将复制<a href>标签</a>

Question

i'm trying to produce a button or <a> link that will act like a or it will ctrl+c the given <a> on the specified <li> . Like the "Copy" button on url shorteners like bit.ly. I just have no idea if this is done in jquery? Anyone have a copy of the code? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You need flash to copy something to the clipboard, because js is restricted for that matter (for security reasons). As you can see, bit.ly uses the same technique.

IE is the only browser, which is capable of pasting to the clipboard with javascript.

jQuery-Plugin, that uses the flash-fallback: http://www.steamdev.com/zclip/
