Hi

I am using dhtmlgrid 2.5 version. i am using dhtmlxgrid. cellToClipboard() api for copying the cell value to clipboard. It was working till firefox version 15.0 after that in the latest versions of firefox it is not working. Upon double clicking the dhtml grid cell firefox says “Access denied” error.

In our project we use these copy functionality very frequently. Now we are having problem in copying. please share your thoughts how to fix this problem.

Unfortunately clipboard operations are blocked in firefox.
This is the feature of the browser. Some kind of solution you can find here:

Thanks, we used to follow this intially. but now in the latest version of firefox even though we set to TRUE it is not working. Is there any alternative way. I feel there should be some solution because most of the people uses Mozilla if the DHTML grid feature is restricted by Mozilla there should be some other way to copy.

Thanks

Unfortunately this is the only way to allow javascript clipboard in firefox.

hmmm. actually we use heavily this feature in our project. most of our forms are grids, most of our activity will copy data from cell and use it for somewhere. If it is blocked it will be a huge impact. Is there any planned fix for future releases?

Firefox till version 15 no longer allows copy to clipboard.
Please, follow the next link:

Same here, missing this feature, which doesnt work with new firefox nor chrome.

Here is a library which actually could make it possible: github.com/jonrohan/ZeroClipboard

Hi All,

We have a similar situation where we are not able to copy text to clipboard in firefox 15+:

  • We have a dhtmlxgrid in which some columns have hyperlinks and other do have static text.
  • We are using zclip (http://www.steamdev.com/zclip/) plugin to copy static text but zclip is not working for hyperlinks because if we attach flash to hyperlink then hyperlink is not working.

For my situation we can not have a copy button in each cell where all hyperlink is present. So, to be precise, I want to copy hyperlink text on click/dblclick/slide of

of grid but at the same time hyperlink should also work.

Any help will be much appreciated

Changes need done in dhtmlxgrid_nxml.js
