Accessing the clipboard is painful from your own webapp. There are browser dependent ways to access it but they are awful to use. Most of the time they aren't viable, and when they can work.... they ask the user for the darn permission which is ugly. | |||
With Flash 9 installed, we had a perfect solution. We used Flash to do the copy paste and it worked perfectly. Then Flash 10 came out and they broke that for us. For security reasons they made it so you had to click on something to get access. We have "zeroclipboard" a project that lets you hide the flash movie invisibly next to an icon (say, the copy icon) but that only works for using the icon itself, not via Cmd-C. | With Flash 9 installed, we had a perfect solution.
