ZeroClipboard - How to use
I'm using this one http://jonrohan.github.io/ZeroClipboard/
I spent this whole day figuring out how to use ZeroClipboard(ZC). I even read the instructions: https://github.com/jonrohan/ZeroClipboard/blob/master/docs/instructions.md and followed it step by step and couldn't do it.
I tried again and again and again but I just can't get it to work. I even spent hours reading other guides at stackoverflow and other pages both just couldn't get this to work. Moreover, most of the answers are outdated.
Can anyone please write a simple working ZC code that copies a paragraph tag:
<p>Hello, I'm Armesh</p>
Then just tell me simply each part of the ZC code and why you wrote it that way.
I plan to use ZC to copy references generated by my generator: http://anonoz.com/armesh/
This is the code I wrote, all link references are correct:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Zero Test</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="javascripts/ZeroClipboard.js"></script>
</head>
<script language="JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var clip = new ZeroClipboard($("#copy_button"), {
moviePath: "javascripts/ZeroClipboard.swf"
});
});
</script>
<body>
<button id='#copy_button' data-clipboard-target='to_copy'><b>Copy To Clipboard</b></button>
<p id='to_copy'>123456</p>
</body>
</html>
I also ran the code/web page above in Google Chrome, there are no errors log in the console. It's blank.
Answer
Ok I got it working, I also think the code posted above by me is correct.
The problem was that I was testing on local, and browsers usually prevent flash from running locally. This is what caused it to fail despite the code being correct.
As a last resort, I uploaded to my web server and tried online, it worked fine.
So, always test ZeroClipboard online after uploading it to your Web Server.
