HTML Clipboard API clarification example

clipboard.js

var btn = document.getElementById("copy-button");
btn.addEventListener("click", clickHandler, false);
btn.addEventListener("copy", copyHandler, false);

function clickHandler(e) {
  e.target.dispatchEvent(new ClipboardEvent("copy"));
}

function copyHandler(e) {
  e.clipboardData.setData("text/plain", "Simulated copy. Yay!");

  // CRITICAL: Must call `preventDefault();` to get this data into the system/desktop clipboard!!!
  e.preventDefault();
}

Hi, I am getting an uncaught type error: illegal constructor error when I try and use ClipboardEvent.

Same issue here.

You are not allowed to create constructor on ClipboardEvent in any browser but FF. Please refer to http://caniuse.com/#feat=clipboard
