You have invoked function test on button click. There the initialization of the ZeroClipboard will take place thats why it require second click to activate better initialize ZeroClipboard at on load

JavaScript

window.onload = function MyFunction() {
                var sss = "my Name";
                var clip = clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client();
                clip.setText(sss);
                clip.glue('d_clip_button');
            }

or use

JavaScript

var clip = clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client();
            window.onload = function MyFunction() {
                var sss = "my Name";                
                clip.setText(sss);
                clip.glue('d_clip_button');
            }

            clip.addEventListener('onMouseDown', function (client) {
                 //alert("mouse over");
            });
