How to copy text to clipboard in Firefox 3.5?

Question

How can you copy text to the clipboard using Javascript (or even better use the jQuery function) without Flash being involved ?

I do not need IE and other browsers; Firefox 3.5 is the only browser that matters to change local FF settings in order.

Edit : Sorry for not understanding, I tried the first 30 methods that I found through Google; none of them worked for me.

Answer 1

A simple Google search resulted in:

• Javascript
• MDC:

function copyToClipboard(text) {

// ask for permission to access clipboard

try {
    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
} catch(e) {
    alert("Clipboard copying is not allowed. Set signed.applets.codebase_principal_support to 'true' in Mozilla Firefox.");
    return false;
}

// make a copy of the Unicode

var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString);
if (!str) return false; // couldn't get string obj
str.data = text; // unicode string?


// add Unicode & HTML flavors to the transferable widget

var trans = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/transferable;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsITransferable);
if (!trans) return false; //no transferable widget found

trans.addDataFlavor("text/unicode");
trans.setTransferData("text/unicode", str, text.length * 2); // *2 because it unicode 


// copy the transferable widget!

var clipboard = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard);
if (!clipboard) return false; // couldn't get the clipboard

clipboard.setData(trans, null, Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard.kGlobalClipboard);
return true;
