Click button copy to clipboard using jQuery

Question

How do I copy the text inside a div to the clipboard? I have a div and need to add a link which will add the text to the clipboard. Is there a solution for this?

Answer 1

It's very important that the input field does not have display: none. The browser will not select the text and therefore will not be copied. Use opacity: 0 with a width of 0px to fix the problem.
