HTML Copy to Clipboard and Close Tab

471 Views Asked by Ryder Cragie At 26 April 2025 at 15:33

I want to create an HTML script that does the following:

Copies a URL to the clipboard.
On a black background — Shows a green tick and says "Link Copied to Clipboard" for a couple of seconds in white text.
Closes the current tab where this script is running.

I want all 3 of these actions to happen automatically when the file is opened in the order above. Ideally, I'd like it to take less than 5 seconds. How can I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

Reason: I'm going to add a "Copy Link" button to my website and this is the only way I can do it. I use Google Sites.

      button.addEventListener("click", () => {
        // get the text
        const text = document.getElementById("text");
        //copy the text to the clipboard
        navigator.clipboard.writeText(text.innerHTML).then(() => {
          //add time out to close the window
          setTimeout(() => {
            window.close();
          }, 3000);
          // add your toaster  here to show the text copied 
          // hare is some reference https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_toast_message.asp
          text.innerHTML = "Copied to clipboard!";
        });
      });
    </script>
  </body>
