How do I copy text to the clipboard within an ajax callback?
0
I need to copy text to the clipboard within an AJAX success callback function. In my code below the text is transferred correctly in to the textarea, but it is not copied to the clipboard.
The code works fine outside of the AJAX callback function. What am I doing wrong?
<textarea id="checktext" name="text"></textarea>
$.ajax({
url: url,
success: function(result) {
document.getElementById("checktext").innerText = result;
// also tried: document.getElementById("checktext").innerHtml = result;
// also tried: $('#checktext').val(result);
document.querySelector("#checktext").select();
document.execCommand("copy");
}
})
javascript jquery clipboard

javascript will execute document.getElementById(), document.querySelector() and document.execCommand() at the same time because it is declared withit the same function. You need a callback-function after you filled you textarea with your result.

execCommand()only works when triggered within a user-initiated action, such as a click event. If you're executing this logic when the page loads, it won't work.
