clipboard.js
var btn = document.getElementById("copy-button");
btn.addEventListener("click", clickHandler, false);
function clickHandler(e) {
var clip = new ClipboardEvent("copy");
clip.clipboardData.setData("text/plain", "foo");
clip.clipboardData.setData("text/html", "<b>foo</b>");
// CRITICAL: Must call `preventDefault();` to get this data into the system/desktop clipboard!!!
clip.preventDefault();
e.target.dispatchEvent(clip);
