    <p>I need a way to copy dynamically (Ajax) loaded content into the clipboard in a Web browser. There are many libraries out there that will mimic the copy-to-clipboard functionality using Flash. However, with the new <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_security_changes_02.html#head31" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Flash 10 default security settings</a>, copy-to-clipboard setting now requires explicit user confirmation. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ZeroClipboard</a> is a Javascript/Flash library that gets around this "limitation" (using flash movie click-jacking).</p> <p>This is a simple JQuery plugin I wrote to integrate ZeroClipboard into my application: </p> <pre><code>// A jQuery plugin for copying Ajax content into clipboard (function($) { $.fn.clickToClipboard = function() { $(this).each( function() { var link = $(this); if ( link.is('a') ) { var clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client(); clip.glue(this); clip.addEventListener('onMouseDown', function(){ link.html('copying...'); clip.reposition(); $.ajax({ url: link.attr('href'), success: function(content) { clip.setText(content); }, async: false }); }); clip.addEventListener('onComplete', function(){ link.html('copied!'); clip.reposition(); }); } }); } })(jQuery); </code></pre> <p>Each anchor url points to a text file on the server. When the flash movie (click-jacked link) is clicked, it loads the anchor's corresponding text file into the clipboard through Ajax and ZeroClipboard. </p> <p><strike>This plugin works very well in Safari (even for a 4000+ line prototype.js text file). However, it's failing on FF3.0 even on a simple text file with one line: "hello".</strike> I've logged the content of my Ajax call into the console. The success callback does seem to work. It seems that clicking on the movie a second time will complete the copy (because browser caches the text file from the first Ajax call).</p> <p>Note that I've used a synchronous Ajax call here in order to wait for the text to finish loading. Anyone knows why my code doesn't work as expected? (Not sure if it's relevant, my backend is done in Rails).</p>

    1. COI've just tested this on production mode, and observing the same behavior on Safari as well.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
