clipboard-dom
Makes a DOM element (i.e. <button>) write to the system clipboard. This component is based off of the ZeroClipboard project, and in fact uses the same SWF Flash code.
Installation
$ component install component/clipboard-domExample

<body>
<!-- The "copy-button" *should* be inside a div with "position: relative"
or something else that "has layout". -->
<div style="position: relative;">
<button id="copy-button">Copy to Clipboard</button>
</div>
<script src="build/build.js"></script>

var ele = document.getElementById('copy-button');
var parent = ele.parentNode; // parent should "have layout"

clip.on('load', function(){
console.log('button loaded');
});
