I've tried to look this up a few days now but came out empty handed I have a little website I'm working on and I've created a context menu (right click on a table row to get the context menu) and I wish to create a copy to clipboard method, I've a the data I wish to copy on a variable named $text This is the JS code:

copy: {
    name: "Copy",
    callback: function (key, option) {
    var $row = $(this).closest("tr");
    var $text = $row.find(".md").text();
    
    //the $text is what I'm trying to copy
    }

I've tried many method to do so, using JS only and when I didn't find any method to do so I've tried to find a way to send this variable to my init.py code which runs the server but without success.

I would very apprachet if anyone will be able to help me understand what am I looking for to make this work and how to implement it.

Thank you very much

    I'm afraid that the Flask Backend has nothing to do with copying data to the user clipboard. – VMRuiz Apr 28 '17 at 09:39

    You can find more information about copy with Javascript in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/400212/how-do-i-copy-to-the-clipboard-in-javascript – VMRuiz Apr 28 '17 at 09:40
  • I saw this post but here they give this idea to make a pop-up with a place from which you can copy, I hope that after clicking the Copy tab it would just save the part of the table I want to the clipboard (which I already got into $text) – Elon Salfati Apr 28 '17 at 09:40
  • OHHHH GOD I've got it, I didn't see the next part where he explained the way to it without the pop-up, You are awesome! – Elon Salfati Apr 28 '17 at 09:58
