Hey,
I’m looking for a simple code that can get your
clipboard’s data into a javascript varible onload.
I recall that you can do this with ActiveX and I forgot how.

@UltimaterauthorFeb 09.2005 — Hmm, my bad,

I thought it was by defining a new activeX Object.

I found some think simular on the web:
<i>
</i>window.clipboardData.setData("text","copy this text to clipboard");

But that [b]copys[/b] text into the clipboard,

I want to [b]obtain[/b] the info from the clipboard and store it

into a varible.

forget it!

I did a search in yahoo for [i]window.clipboardData[/i]

and found this:

<i>
</i>clp = window.clipboardData.getData("Text");

You had to pull-up a 3-month-old thread to tell me that? :rolleyes:
