Topic: Clipboard not working in Modalwindow

jseird priority asked 5 months ago

Expected behavior Using the clipboard method with a button and input that are located within a modal window should also copy the value of the input into the clipboard.

Actual behavior Nothing is copied to the clipboard. The event listener, as provided in the sample, is working fine. It also outputs the correct value. However nothing is copied to the clipboard, the intended function of that method. Pasting the clipboard returns an empty value or still contains the value that has been copied manually before using the clipboard method.

Obviously this is due to some focus things of the bootstrap framework. Other clipboard libs allow for setting the 'base-container' so that the value is copied to the clipboard. Did not find such a possibility

Sorry, there was a typo in the ID of the input in the clipboard example.

Here is a working example: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/kpienkowska/5808466#js-tab-view

Hi there, this does not work in Safari - Still the very same problem like mentioned above; nothing is copied to the clipboard. as a workaround I use navigator.clipboard.writeText(valueToCopy) within the copied.mdb.clipboard event and do pass the text here. however this should be addressed in the mdb lib in the first place though.
