What is the best way toHow do I copy text to the clipboard (multi-browser)?

I have tried:

function copyToClipboard(text) { if (window.clipboardData) { // Internet Explorer window.clipboardData.setData("Text", text); } else { unsafeWindow.netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect"); const clipboardHelper = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper); clipboardHelper.copyString(text); } }

But in Internet Explorer it gives a syntax error. In Firefox, it says unsafeWindow is not defined.

Actually, it IS about Adobe's product (Flash) - about NOT using or relying on it - from the reference "I've got Flashblock installed, and the Firefox network tab shows no Flash movie loaded."
