Very simple javascript functions...
IE provides a method execCommand which enables you to do Cut, Copy and Paste.

I don't think that Firefox or any other browser supprorts this and I've never used it.
I might be able to give more help if you could explain what it is you're trying to achieve.

Well, I basically just want something (preferably javascript) to copy whatever the visitor selects to the clipboard.
Then, I want something to cut whatever the user selects into the clipboard.
Next, I'd like something to perform a select all on whatever (ie: the document, a form field, etc.) the user opens the context menu on (this is for a customized context menu).
Finally, I need something to paste the clipboard's contents into a form field.
I would love this ASAP, and it's a pain trying to figure out how to use the execCommand for what I need.
Thanks!!
