<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8">
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
   <title>Document</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<script>
   function demoForCopyURL(e) {
      event.preventDefault();
      var rootText = event.target.parentElement.innerText
      var btnText = event.target.innerText
      var originalURLValue = rootText.substring(btnText.length + 1)
      console.log("THE URL IS=" + originalURLValue)
