Or avoid the plug-in with Firefox and related browsers by visiting about:config in the location textbox and changing "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" to "false". A comment on the plug-in page mentioned security and privacy issues being addressed by this plug-in. Now that I think about it, I suppose anything on your clipboard could be surreptitiously copied to rogue websites. Not a pleasant thought. Do you know what is in your clipboard right now? */cheers, rickw /* -- ------------------------------------ Rick Welykochy || Vitendo Consulting Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) recently spent $30m buying up all the houses around his own in Palo Alto, California.
