I'm using http://www.steamdev.com/zclip/#usage to copy some text to the clipboard and that code is working just fine. It uses flash to create a crossbrowser solution and it is based on ZeroClipboard, which seems to be considered to be the best working solution at the moment.
However I would like to have multiple copy to clipboard buttons or links on my page. Here is an example.
http://jsfiddle.net/stofke/TB23d/
This code works, it copies the text of the coupon code to the clipboard and opens up a new page with the correct link. How can I use that code on other links without having to duplicate it for each and every link / id.
Using just the class
$(function() {
$('.copy').zclip({
path: 'http://shopsheep.com/js/ZeroClipboard.swf',
copy: $(this).text(),
afterCopy: function() {
window.open($(this).attr('href'));
}
});
});
doesn't work: as you can see here: http://jsfiddle.net/stofke/EAZYW/ if you remove the afterCopy function you'll see that $(this).text() will return the whole page instead of just the text between the link tag.
doing something like this
$(function() {
$('a.copy', this).zclip({
path: 'http://shopsheep.com/js/ZeroClipboard.swf',
copy: $('a.copy', this).text(),
});
});
slightly improves upon it but returns all text between the link tag as you can see here. http://jsfiddle.net/stofke/hAh3j/
UPDATE: This no longer works but I cannot delete the post
This seems to work - someone might be able to make it more elegant
$(function() {
$('.copy').each(function() {
var linkId = $(this).attr("id");
$(this).zclip({
path: 'http://shopsheep.com/js/ZeroClipboard.swf',
copy: $("#"+linkId).text(),
afterCopy: function() {
window.open($('#'+linkId).attr('href'));
}
});
});
});
