Hi, 

   I want to implement "copy to clipboard" functionality,but functionality this dose not work because of some security risks. Is there any way to copy data to clipboard using ExtJs? Or any plug-in which might help.

   Thanks for your help in advance.

You probably can use Flash or Java, but why do you need to copy data to the clipboard? Can you display a message to the user advising them to copy it themselves?
