Hi All,
I have a quick question,
I am making a little script that shows users how easy it is to have there
clipboards read.
I would like to capture my users clipboard (plain text only) and then
AUTOMATICALLY send them to a page displaying there contents, I want to get
the +content+ put into a $content vairiable for easier manipulation in PHP.
As javascript is client side and PHP serverside, i need to submit the form
somehow, and this is what I have come up with (below)...
Any other ideas would be cool, and I then pick up the values from Javascipt
and then GET the content and put it into a vairiable in PHP, but this means
clicking a link or button.
Do you now of an automatic way of doing this? maybe a auto refresh?? I dont
know??? will it work?
Thanks all,
J

var content = clipboardData.g etData("Text");
document.write( '<a href="jim.php?c ontent='+conten t+'">Click here</a>');
var content=content ;

Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, ROFLMAO ... :-x
Can you *really* do this on Windows/IE? Reliably?
He he, haw haw, gosh, somebody stop me!
I'll absolutely guarantee that this will not work on my system!
It really is that easy.
Have a good one :-)

It does work, look into it before assuming because you don't know about it,
it doesn't exist.
Its not very reliable though, obviously they need some plain text in the
clipboard, and hopefully not any HTML or any other script, just something
like "hello, test" or something like that.
Anyway, back to my question, do you know of a way to automatically submit
the data on pageLoad?
Thanks
Jim

If the purpose of this excercise is only the demonstration of clipboard
functionality, there is no need for PHP or a second page:
var a=clipboardData .getData("Text" );
document.write( a.replace(/</g,'<') );
will be plenty.
You strengthen your user's trust in you by NOT sending their clipboard
back to your server.

Please don't top-post, read the group FAQ:

I know it works on *one* particular platform with *one*
particular browser, please turn sarcasm detector to "on".
It does not work on any platform/browser combination that I use.

the data on pageLoad?
The reference you quote points out the silliness of allowing a
script writer to arbitrarily access the clipboard. Point your
visitors there.
Further, you can't guarantee that there is *anything* in the
clipboard, much less something worth stealing - or even if there
is, that you can do anything useful with it.
In plain English: it is not a security hazard, it is a silliness
hazard.
Please reinstate sarcasm detector to your preferred setting...

Hi all,
I am trying to get a way by which I'll know exactly when user goes out
of my site by clicking on close button in browser, So that w/e user
click close button in browser, I can send a signal to server.
This seems to be achievable with body unload events, but it is little
too much, as even if user navigate within my site, this event will be
generated, this can be avoided by handling onclick of each link, so
that I'll know exactly...
