zClip jQuery plugIn problem - copying text

[callMeAl]

Hi,

Recently I've been trying to implement zClip jQuery plugin. Its main function is to copy text to the clipboard. It does that by overlying a link with some flash object and on the click event copying the text we want.

The problem is that I can't implement it and it simply doesn't work, despite it seems to be extremely easy to install. The funny thing is that the demo on plugin's website works.

I would appreciate if some JS geek would bother to install it on his/her own machine and let me know the results. I really ran out of ideas.

I too am having the same problem, but I believe it could be to do with Localhost restriction. I'll be doing further tests this morning and update this post again.

I found this on a blog entry -> http://www.deluxeblogtips.com/2010/0...clipboard.html

Important: If you try to make your own demo, just remember to do it online, it doesn't work at local computer at all. This is a security restriction by Adobe Flash Player (yeah, another security reason!).

I am still having problems binding the zClip copy process to a DIV and I can't seem to get the beforeCode: and afterCode: event working correctly.

I want to use this zClip jQuery plug-in as it enables me to bind to a DIV which in my case is a DIV with no ID but contained within a table TD. I am currently trying to use zClip in-conjunction with jqGrid nav button.

If I get a solution I'll post it back here.
