how do I copy selected text automatically by using Javascript?
For example, when I highlighted a word (by double-clicking it) in a page, and that word is being automatically copied into clipboard.
Is there a way to do this?

1it's duplicated, but many of the suggested answers in that question aren't relevant any more. I think this is a good question. – andygoestohollywood Oct 11 '13 at 14:42

Why is it do you think it is irrelevant anymore? – emen Oct 11 '13 at 14:48

because half of the jquery plugins don't exist anymore. – andygoestohollywood Oct 11 '13 at 14:53

1@Neal He already did in the answer section. I'm trying to understand the jQuery plugin and how to manipulate this thing. – emen Oct 11 '13 at 15:13

@AimanB I meant to make a new answer in the question that you are duplicating. – Naftali Oct 11 '13 at 15:14

1@Neal Oh okay. I don't think there is a way to do what I wanted here. I still have to create a button to copy to clipboard. – emen Oct 11 '13 at 15:15

This is what you want to use: https://code.google.com/p/liveclipboard-jquery
some versions of ie can do this natively.
