Hi all,

I've been playing around with the ZeroClipboard (see
http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/) but I did not manage to get
it to work as of now. After having tried out different approaches /
solutions from other users (for example here
http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/wiki/IdeasAndSuggestions), I'm
now asking you guys. =)

I want to copy a calculated value *from within my GWT-application* to
the clipboard so that I can use that value anywhere else using Ctrl-v
(that's what ZeroClipboard is all about right? ;-) )

I therefore put the corresponding code into my host html file
(Application.html) of my GWT-app:
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">
    <title>Application</title>

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="ZeroClipbaord.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript">
        function copy() {
                var clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client();
                clip.setText('Copied!!!');
                clip.glue( 'buttonId' );
        }
        </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="GWTServlet.Application.nocache.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <iframe src="javascript:''" id="__gwt_historyFrame" tabIndex='-1'
style="position:absolute;width:0;height:0;border:0"></iframe>
  </body>
</html>

My corresponding Java source-code looks like this:
public class Application implements EntryPoint {

  /**
   * This is the entry point method.
   */
  public void onModuleLoad() {
          FlowPanel table = new FlowPanel();

          table.getElement().setId("FlowPanel");

          Button button = new Button("ClickMe to copy to clipboard");
          button.getElement().setId("buttonId");
          button.addClickListener(new ClickListener(){

                public void onClick(Widget arg0) {
                        copyInJava();
                }

          });
          table.add(button);

          RootPanel.get().add(table);
  }

        public native void copyInJava() /*-{
            $wnd.copy();
        }-*/;
}

ZeroClipboard works just fine when used in plain HTML to copy contents
to the clipboard but I did not manage to get it to work from inside a
GWT-application.

I also used FireBug to debug and apparently there is some issue when
creating the ZeroClipboard.Client() object. Nonetheless, when I run it
in plain HTML, everything is fine so I assume that the issue is due to
the fact that I'm using a GWT-app to get the job done.

Does anybody have suggestions what the problem might be?

Cheers
