Mouse click events and the clipboard

[dpdoug]

I need to do things in javascript:

1) Capture a left mouse click
2) Store contents of text box in clipboard (on left mouse click)

3) Capture a right mouse click
4) Paste contents of clipboard to a text box (on right mouse click)

Is this possible? If so, does anyone have an example of how todo it?

If they're textboxes on the same page, you don't need to store the value in the clipboard, just in a variable.

See, I want to copy the value to a text box in another form on another site. The visibility of a variable is limited to that page pretty much -- or the site if the variable is a global.

How do you get the value from one site to another -- without copy and pasting?

I'd like to try to do it by mouse clicks if possible.

If you're not programming the pages on both sites, you won't be able to do that. The JS code would have to reside on both pages you're working with.

It looks like this is an IE only solution:

But if you want to track down the rest of the possibilities, here's the Google search link:
