Call with copy2Clipboard(event, string[, html]) where

  • event is the triggering user event (for example, a button click); this is required in case the user doesn't have the Clipbord API enabled and the event.clipBoardData method is used as a fallback
  • string is the plaintext that shall be copied to clipboard
  • html (optional) is the HTML equivalent that shall be copied to clipboard; if html is not specified, string is set as html content

For example:

$(button).on('click', (ev) => {
    copy2Clipboard(ev, "hello world", "<strong>hello world</strong>");
});
