ZeroClipboard just isn't working
Originally, this post was regarding my attempts to inject ZeroClipboard into web pages by and for use by my Chrome extension, but I've dumbed the scenario down and down and down in a seemingly futile attempt to identify the issue and I still can't get it to work.
I'm even having difficulty getting the actual, documented "Minimal Example" on ZeroClipboard's own GitHub to work (admittedly, I've modded the source to actually be HTML5-valid, but the exact original didn't work either). Even test.html, which is included in the tar.gz archive, doesn't work!
"Minimal Example": Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" id="d_clip_button" data-clipboard-text="Copy Me!" value="Copy To Clipboard" />
<script src="ZeroClipboard.js"></script>
<script>
var clip = new ZeroClipboard( document.getElementById('d_clip_button') );
</script>
</body>
</html>
"Minimal Example": Console Output
Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function index.html:11
Info
- The entire contents of the
zeroclipboard-1.0.7.tar.gzarchive are in the same directory asindex.html. - The
ZeroClipboard.jsfile isn't corrupted / incomplete and is being loaded correctly. - I'm using Chrome v24.0.1312.52
Either I'm missing something really, really obvious here or ZeroClipboard's documentation / functionality is abysmal.
Answer
What I've just found out:
- I've downloaded the ZIP with the JS/SWF from GitHub.
- I've looked into the examples from Google Code.
That didn't match. I've got a similar error than the original poster of this question.
After I used the example from GitHub I've succeeded.
Conclusion:
Either use both the example and download from Google Code or (which I would prefer), both the example and download from GitHub.
