I'm writing a code and I display to the user a table with data from DB. The user can copy all the data manually, but I want to add a button that copy automatically the data to clipboard. How can I do this? Thanks!

  • Try this code `function ClipBoard() { holdtext.innerText = copytext.innerText; Copied = holdtext.createTextRange(); Copied.execCommand("Copy"); }` – shanidkv Jan 15 '15 at 07:43

You cannot do this with javascript. There is no browser that can allow that. It's a security issue.

  • I'm not sure about that - [This website](http://flatuicolors.com/) allows you to click on HTML colors and have them pasted into your clipboard - works fine on Chrome – nicholaswmin Jan 15 '15 at 07:56

If you are good with JQuery, use this Library

P.S Although it raise a security concern, most of the browsers doesn't allow it.
