Okay, I think I just found it. Before I posted this question I was searching google for "javascript programmatic cut and paste" (and other variations on that theme), but getting no where. Just a bit ago it occurred to me that was I was really trying to do was get access to the clipboard. Duh. A search for "javascript clipboard access" returned what I was looking for -- window.clipboardData.setData();
Before folks start writing to tell me that this is a security risk, keep in mind that a) my app is for company intranet use only and not available to the general public and b) I'm not using the control for evil... only for good ;o) I won't be storing the information for any long term use, or tracking what IP had what in their clipboard... nothing like that. I'm one of the good guys *show's everyone his white hat* Also, I realize that the method I mentioned above only works for IE which is okay for me because when users launch this app they don't get a browser choice. It's automattically using IE 6. All that said, comments are still welcomed. :o) Thanks, Chris On 12/26/07, Chris Jordan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a way to use jQuery (or javascript in general) to > programmatically controll copy and paste functions?
