Works great! I had to tweak it a bit to work with my buttons, but that was easy enough.

I can think of one legitimate use for copy to clipboard and that is creating wysiwyg / word processor / application like interfaces where people are used to having copy and paste buttons.

I just want to give my kudos to Joe for writing this library. We now use it on Yamli.com, and he’s probably saved me a couple of days of tearing my hair out.

It’s unfortunate that we have to resort to these methods to access the clipboard. It would be nice if the browsers did allow writing to the clipboard directly, perhaps as in Flash 10 only in response to a user click.

Ha, yes, ZeroClipboard does work great. Unfortunately it's a bit limited when you want to bind many instances of the tool to multiple text nodes. I posted a question on Stack Overflow just yesterday about this particular problem, but I've yet to find a better solution. Here's the code to use multiple text nodes with ZeroClipboard. As you can see, the code is quite redundant.
