Web page access to clipboard

[modalman]

Hi, does anyone know how I can get access to the clipboard via a web page. I have a button that the user clicks on and the clipboard text will then be pasted into a textarea. I presume some sort of permissions may have to be set. Many thanks in advance.

ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI

I think there's a function (at least in MSIE) called clipboardData(). So something like pasteHTML(clipboardData()).

I'm freezing here, wrapped in 4 layers and I'm still like an icicle so please forgive me for abandoning the PC and looking it up on MSDN.

Hope the keyword leads you to some spiffy tricks
