Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'getHTML'

[hannesfostie]

Hi

Just tried using your gem together with the code example at https://github.com/HaNdTriX/zeroclipboard-rails/wiki/zeroclipboard-rails---jQuery-Examples

First remark is that clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client(); should be changed to new ZeroClipboard(); as per https://github.com/zeroclipboard/ZeroClipboard/pull/65

After doing so however, I am getting an error on line 12 of the file:

var flash_movie = '<div>'+clip.getHTML(width, height)+'</div>';

It seems getHTML can not be called on clip. I'm at a loss as my javascript skills are very limited. Any idea what's happening?

I took the liberty of changing the wiki page to reflect the change to the constructor I mentioned

Hi,

Same issue here: TypeError: clip.getHTML is not a function

Any idea ?

[murdoch]

Same here,

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'getHTML' application.js?body=1:60
(anonymous function) application.js?body=1:60
jQuery.event.dispatch jquery.js?body=1:5096
elemData.handle

Does this gem work with Turbolinks? The wiki article advises to use zclip gem, but the zclip gem advises to use this one. It's slightly confusing.

[HaNdTriX]

The wiki article is obsolete. It tried to solve an position problem, caused by an outdated Version of zeroclipboard. Since then a lot has changed so you should by able to include zeroclipboard as shown in the README.

Please do not try to use the method mentioned in the wiki.

I just removed the misleading wiki-page.

@HaNdTriX - thanks

[murdoch]

Thanks for clearing that up @HaNdTriX

My problem was being caused by the fact that my clipboard appears in the multi-step form where users can go back and forward between pages. Turbolinks was causing some problems for visitors returning to a page that already had ZeroClipboard objects initialised.

So I just disabled turbolinks on the page in question and now it works fine.

@murdoch I haven't used rails in awhile. But did you try to remove ZeroClipboard when the page get's unloaded?

Not Tested:

// a Turbolinks-enabled link has been clicked 
document.addEventListener("page:before-change", function(){
  ZeroClipboard.destroy();
});

// the page has been parsed and changed to the new version and on DOMContentLoaded
document.addEventListener("page:change", function(){
  // reinit zeroclipboard here
});
