Click event not firing on html anchor.

Question

Hi,

I have the following link defined in a .NET 1.1 usercontrol that has the JQuery source file linked.

<script language="javascript" src="jquery.copy.min.js"></script>

<a href='#' onclick="javascript:$.copy('WORKED');">Copy to clipboard</a>

But nothing happens when I try to paste somewhere else???

Answer 1

I can think of three possibilities. First, perhaps you're missing the flash-file (used to do the actual copy). Second, perhaps you've got an ad-blocker keeping the flash-file from being loaded? Or, third, some security setting stopping the flash file from interacting with the clipboard.

This was just brain storming though. HTH.

Answer 2

I don't know .NET but if it's just html and javascript, shouldn't it be onclick="$.copy('WORKED');"? You only need "javascript:" if you put it in the href attribute.
