This ieCompatibility branch contains a modified version of the v2.0.2 codebase for ZeroClipboard. It is primarily intended to support IE in compatibility view, with additional features. Please see ZeroClipboard for the original.
The ClipAndFile library provides an easy way to copy text to the clipboard or save a file using an invisible Adobe Flash movie and a JavaScript interface. The the user interface is left entirely up to you.
This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a DOM element of your choice. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mousedown effects.
Note that, due to browser and Flash security restrictions, this clipboard injection can ONLY occur when the user clicks on the invisible Flash movie. A simulated click event from JavaScript will not suffice as this would enable clipboard poisoning.
<html>
<body>
<button id="copy-button" data-clipboard-text="Copy Me!" title="Click to copy me.">Copy to Clipboard</button>
<button id="save-button" data-clipboard-text="Save Me!" data-clipboard-file="Save.txt" title="Click to save me.">Save to File</button>
<script src="ClipAndFile.js"></script>
<script src="main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>// main.js
var copy_client = new ClipAndFile( document.getElementById("copy-button") );
copy_client.on( "ready", function( readyEvent ) {
// alert( "ClipAndFile SWF is ready!" );
copy_client.on( "aftercopy", function( event ) {
// `this` === `copy_client`
// `event.target` === the element that was clicked
event.target.style.display = "none";
alert("Copied text to clipboard: " + event.data["text/plain"] );
} );
} );
var save_client = new ClipAndFile( document.getElementById("copy-button") );
save_client.on( "ready", function( readyEvent ) {
// alert( "ClipAndFile SWF is ready!" );
save_client.on( "aftercopy", function( event ) {
// `this` === `save_client`
// `event.target` === the element that was clicked
event.target.style.display = "none";
alert("Saved text to file: " + event.data.file );
} );
} );See docs/instructions.md for more advanced options in using the library on your site. See docs/api/ClipAndFile.md for the complete API documentation.
This library is fully compatible with Flash Player 11.0.0 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. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mousedown effects.
Definitely works in IE8+ and all of the evergreen browsers.
Should also work in IE7 if you provide a polyfill for the global JSON object, e.g.
JSON 2 or
JSON 3.
