I needed a script that copies a text (in my case, coupon code) onto clipboard and then open the web address associated with the coupon in a new window for my Coupons for Webmasters<\/a> page. For the clipboard copying, I'm using ZeroClipboard script written by Joseph Huckaby<\/a>. ZeroClipboard is a free and open source library that provides an easy way to copy text to the clipboard using an invisible Adobe Flash movie, and a JavaScript interface. And opening a new window was easier than I thought, with jQuery and a bit of googling. <\/p>\n

ZeroClipboard Script <\/strong>(download at Google Code<\/a>)
\nYou'll need ZeroClipboard.js and ZeroClipboard.swf.  <\/p>\n
clipboard.js<\/strong><\/p>\n
\r\nZeroClipboard.setMoviePath(\"http:\/\/fullpath.to.your.site\/ZeroClipboard.swf\");\r\n\r\nvar clip = null;\r\nvar url = '';\r\n\r\nfunction init() {\r\n\tclip = new ZeroClipboard.Client();\r\n\tclip.setHandCursor( true );\r\n\t\r\n\t$('.coupon-code').mouseover( function() {\r\n\t\tclip.setText(this.innerHTML);\r\n\t\tif (clip.div) {\r\n\t\t\tclip.receiveEvent('mouseout', null);\r\n\t\t\tclip.reposition(this);\r\n\t\t} else {\r\n                        clip.glue(this);\r\n                }\r\n\t\tclip.receiveEvent('mouseover', null);\r\n\t\turl = $(this).attr('rel');\r\n\t});\r\n\t\r\n\tclip.addEventListener('mouseUp', function(client) { \r\n\t\twindow.open(url);\r\n\t});\r\n}\r\n\t\r\n$(document).ready(function() {\r\n\tinit();\r\n});\r\n<\/pre>\n
