Is there a cross-browser option to copy text to the clipboard?

Question

JavaScript

I'm trying to find a solution to copy text to clipboard that works for all browsers. If not, then you need a variant supported in most browsers. Tried to use navigator.clipboard.writetext, but it only works on https connection. I work for http. There is also an IE-only option - document.execCommand("copy");. I would like to know if there are any other options?

Answer 1

function copyToClipboard(value) {
    var prev_focus = document.activeElement;
    var area = document.createElement('textarea');
    area.value = value;
    document.body.appendChild(area);
    area.focus();
    area.select();
    area.setSelectionRange(0, 99999); /* For mobile devices */
    document.execCommand('copy');
    document.body.removeChild(area);
    if (prev_focus) {
        prev_focus.focus();
    }
}

Works everywhere - Firefox, Chrome, Safari
