Message when copying to clipboard is an alert() instead of nicely styled message (as in TableTools 1)

Repro: Click on the copy button. You'll get a basic alert message telling you that rows have been copied to the clipboard. In TableTools 1, you got a nicely styled message just like the print button.

Not sure why was this behaviour changed in TableTools 2, but I prefer the previous implementation.

Code used in TableTools 1.1.4:

alert( 'Copied '+(aData.length-1)+' rows to the clipboard' );

Code used in TableTools 2.0.1:

alert( 'Copied '+len+' row'+plural+' to the clipboard' );

There should be no changes to the alert style in TableTools. Might it be that you are using Firefox 4 now and seeing their new modal alert messages?

Sorry, I was wrong about TableTools 1. I didn't realize that another developer on my team applied that change... I thought TT shipped that way.

I think it's a worthwhile change, though, and easily done: just extract the print message code and call the same function when copying to the clipboard.

That's an interesting idea. I've added it to my 'to-do' list to try implementing it and think about it a bit more. Nice suggestion - thanks!
