Hi,

My client doesnt want to use flash for copy to clipboard or for export functionality due to security issue. So we use server side script for export functionality and looking for option for copy to clipboard. Can any one suggest a way.

Thanks for your help!

    Currently there isn't a built in way of doing that in TableTools, but I'm sure a plug-in cold be created that will do it using more modern techniques, allowing the copy by Flash to be removed.

    I hope to have a look at this at some point in future.

    It appears that it is not currently possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6355300/copy-to-clipboard-without-flash .

    In fairness it would be darn annoying to load a web-page and suddenly find that the page has overwritten your clipboard with some advertising message!
