Title:
  Get an HTML5 "click-to-copy" widget

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In Bug 1314890, on the Secret URLs page we added the zeroclipboard
  library to allow users to click a clipboard icon and have the URL
  copied to their clipboard. Unfortunately, since then Flash has started
  dying in a bad way, and now this sort of Flash-based clipboard widget
  is on the way out, and can cause browsers to pop up warning messages
  and such.

  Now, there is no way to accomplish exactly this same functionality
  (copy to clipboard) without Flash currently. But, there are some
  useable alternatives. The one that seems to be poised to replace the
  click-to-copy pattern, is that you click and it automatically selects
  the full text, so that you then just have to hit "control-C" instead
  of first dragging to select it all.

  Jen recently added this little clipboard library to the styleguide.php
  script. It works pretty good, so we may as well adopt it for the
  Secret URL screen as well.
