I want to write some data in to clipborad from a chrome extension which I'm creating.
In the manifest file i gave permissions to both clipboardRead and clipboardWrite.
i use this function which i found here
but it doesn't work. seems that document.execCommand('copy'); can not work.
i write all of these codes in content script.
thx
manifest:
{
manifest_version:2,
name:easyCopy,
description:just a small toll,
version:1.0.0,
permissions:[
clipboardWrite, http://*/*, clipboardRead
],
content_scripts:[
{
matches:[http://*/*],
js:[jquery-1.9.1.min.js, main_feature.js]
}
],
background:{
persistent:false,
page:background.html
}
}
main_feature.js:
copyOrderId();
function copyOrderId() {
$(.order-num).click(function () {
var curOrderNum = $(this).text();
copyTextToClipboard(curOrderNum);
// chrome.extension.sendMessage({method:copy, content:curOrderNum}, function (response) {
// clog(response);
// });
});
}
function copyTextToClipboard(text) {
var copyFrom = $('<textarea/>');
copyFrom.text(text);
$('body').append(copyFrom);
copyFrom.select();
document.execCommand('copy', true);
copyFrom.remove();
}
function clog(message) {
console.log(message);
}
the background.html is just a blank page with basic html body.
