How to upload Ajax response to clipboard using jQuery and ZeroClipboard?

Question

I need a way to copy dynamically (Ajax) uploaded content to the clipboard in a web browser. There are many libraries that will simulate the function of copying to the clipboard using Flash. However, with the new default security settings for Flash 10 , setting the copy to clipboard now requires explicit user confirmation. ZeroClipboard is a Javascript / Flash library that bypasses this "limitation" (using flash clicks).

This is a simple jQuery plugin that I wrote to integrate ZeroClipboard into my application:

// A jQuery plugin for copying Ajax content into clipboard
(function($) {
    $.fn.clickToClipboard = function() {
        $(this).each( function() {
            var link = $(this);
            if ( link.is('a') ) {
                var clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client();
                clip.glue(this);
                clip.addEventListener('onMouseDown', function(){
                    link.html('copying...');
                    clip.reposition();
                    $.ajax({ 
                        url: link.attr('href'),
                        success: function(content) { 
                            clip.setText(content);
                        },
                        async: false
                    });
                });

                clip.addEventListener('onComplete', function(){ 
                    link.html('copied!');
                    clip.reposition();
                });
            }            
        });
    }
})(jQuery);
