on click select all value and copy to clipboard (cross browser support)

Question

I want to select all and copy to clipboard the value of input when the user clicks on the input itself with cross browser support.

Example:

onClick this:

<input value="Generated Value: www.google.com" />

it will SelectAll and copy the Generated Value: www.google.com to the clipboard

I have tried a few jquery ready made scripts but i can't get them to work this way as they only work if the user clicks on a button or href link.
