Copy to clipboard do not work on Html5?

I think it was not implemented originally because at that time it was not working on some browsers and/or you needed to implement this in an input event (like button click or key event) to avoid confirmation message boxes. I'll check it.

Hi,
I am trying to use "Send text to clipboard" action of the Special Object and it does not function.
I will try to use the document.execCommand("copy") method in a function that will be triggered on user click. but it would be nice to have this feature in HTML5.
Is this possible?

Yves - has this issue been resolved at all? Or has anyone else discovered a work around? Need to be able to send text to clipboard in an HTML5 export.

Thanks,
Chaos

You might be able to call a Javascript function from your html page sending the text you want to send to clipboard.

Ah yes, I forgot about this. Yes you can use a Javascript function. I quickly searched for some solution and you can do this:

1. Add the following code to your HTML file:

<script>
		function CopyToClipboard(text) {
			if (navigator.clipboard) {
				navigator.clipboard.writeText(text);
			} else {
				var elt = document.createElement("textarea");
				elt.value = text;
				elt.style.position = "fixed";
				elt.style.top = "0";
				elt.style.left = "0";
				document.body.appendChild(elt);
				elt.focus();
				elt.select();
				document.execCommand('copy');
				document.body.removeChild(elt);
			}
		}				
    </script>

2. In your MFA add a HTML5 object, and call the CopyTextToClipboard function like this:

HTML5 : Reset Parameters
HTML5 : Add String Parameter "random text to copy"
HTML5 : Call Function "CopyToClipboard"

Note: as I said above I *think* you can do this only from a user input event, e.g. User click condition and/or Button click condition.

Note 2: we'll implement this function in a future update.

EDIT: I tested it on latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Opera. Not tested on Safari. In theory it should work on older browsers too.
