Get clipboard data

clipboard, http-get, javascript, jquery

Solution

This is a toughie. If I recall correctly, IE allows access to the clipboard, but by default Firefox does not due to security issues. I had to do this for a project I was working on, and was forced to use a small SWF file that did the copying.

Problem

I'm trying to write a Javascript function to edit content from clipboard before pasting. Right now i got bound event 'paste' to function via JQuery. ``` $(this.elementDoc).bind('paste', function(event){ self.OnPaste(event); }); ``` But that's not important. Now I would like to get Data from clipboard, but I can't find out how. I would be glad for every hint.
