javascript - How can I copy to clipboard in HTML5 without using flash?

Question

I want to use a copy-to-clipboard function in HTML5, but without using flash. Is it possible? How?

I tried to implement a copy-to-clipboad function with JavaScript, but it is not working:

function Copytoclipboard() {
    var body = document.body,
        range, sel;
    if (document.createRange && window.getSelection) {
        range = document.createRange();
        sel = window.getSelection();
        sel.removeAllRanges();
        try {
            range.selectNodeContents(el);
            sel.addRange(range);
            document.execCommand('Copy');
        } catch (e) {
            range.selectNode(el);
            sel.addRange(range);
            document.execCommand('Copy');
        }
    } else if (body.createTextRange) {
        range = body.createTextRange();
        range.moveToElementText(el);
        range.select();
        range.execCommand('Copy');
    }
}

You can use the HTML5 clipboard api http://www.htmlgoodies.com/html5/other/working-with-clipboard-apis-in-html5-web-apps.html#fbid=eh9tM7GHJWF

But do note that not all browsers fully support it as of now: http://caniuse.com/#feat=clipboard
