There are JavaScript hooks for copying and pasting? The only ones that I have seen (e.g. bit.ly) rely on Flash. (I see this because I'm running flashblock and have to explicitly tell the Flash applet to run.) Peter On Nov 29, 2010, at 3:59 PM, Sean Hannan wrote: > > There are JS hooks for c

No tasteful way, no. And probably no way at all when it's on a third party website like LexisNexis -- short of getting the user to install a browser plugin maybe, which will require different code for every browser, which is a lot of work to go to for a feature that I predict will really annoy
