The "Zero" signifies that the library is invisible and the user interface is left entirely up to you. This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a [DOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model) element of your choice. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mousedown effects. Limitations ----------- [](#limitations) ### User Interaction Required [](#user-interaction-required) Due to browser and Flash security restrictions, this clipboard injection can ***ONLY*** occur when the user clicks on the invisible Flash movie. A simulated `click` event from JavaScript will not suffice as this would enable [clipboard poisoning](http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9117268/Adobe_patches_Flash_clickjacking_and_clipboard_poisoning_bugs). ### Other Limitations [](#other-limitations) For a complete list of limitations, see [docs/instructions.md#limitations](docs/instructions.md#limitations). Simple Example -------------- [](#simple-example) ``` Copy to Clipboard ``` ``` // main.js var client = new ZeroClipboard( document.getElementById("copy-button") ); client.on( "ready", function( readyEvent ) { // alert( "ZeroClipboard SWF is ready!" ); client.on( "aftercopy", function( event ) { // `this` === `client` // `event.target` === the element that was clicked event.target.style.display = "none"; alert("Copied text to clipboard: " + event.data["text/plain"] ); } ); } ); ``` See [docs/instructions.md](docs/instructions.md) for more advanced options in using the library on your site. See [docs/api/ZeroClipboard.md](docs/api/ZeroClipboard.md) for the complete API documentation. Here is a working [test page](http://zeroclipboard.org/#demo) where you can try out ZeroClipboard in your browser. Testing ZeroClipboard Locally ----------------------------- [](#testing-zeroclipboard-locally) To test the page [demo page](http://zeroclipboard.org/#demo) locally, clone the [website repo](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard.org). Support ------- [](#support) This library is fully compatible with Flash Player 11.0.0 and above, which requires that the clipboard copy operation be initiated by a user click event inside the Flash movie. This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a [DOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model) element of your choice. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mousedown effects with just a *little* extra effort. ZeroClipboard `v2.x` is expected to work in IE9+ and all of the evergreen browsers. Although support for IE7 & IE8 was officially dropped in `v2.0.0`, it was actually still *technically* supported through `v2.0.2`.
