I have text in JS variable and I want that to be copied in clipboard on a button's click. I need this in Javascript and code must not be browser-specific.

    Most browsers seem to block JavaScript access nowadays for security reasons. – Scoop Nov 25 '10 at 15:30

ZeroClipboard works fully within the browser's security restrictions. It uses Flash to copy to the clipboard, accessing a Flash movie from JavaScript. To work around Flash's own security limitation, it must be overlaid on top of some element of your page (e.g. a button) that the user will have to click. Read its instructions page for more details.
