clipboard copy does not work in jquery ajax success method

Question

I want to copy a card number into the clipboard so that I can paste it in Notepad. The code which I got from the internet works very well if tried in the developer toolbar o

Answer 1

Well, what are you copying? document.execCommand("copy"); requires something to be selected(highlighted) in the first place.

I think in your example, select follows .val(). But in order for this to work you need to be selecting an element, not it's value.

$temp.val(data.CardNumber);
$temp.select();

copied = document.execCommand("copy");
$temp.remove();

if(copied){
    alert('copied successfully');
}else{
    alert('something went wrong');
}
