The only precise example that I can think of currently are the WYSIWYG editors. Jim Ley also provided a good example. Yet, I can go further in saying that the use cases for giving the author access to my clipboard are (almost) all the same as I'd do with any application on my OS, or even more. This feature is already available in IE and Gecko. AFAIK Opera 9 is also implementing something like that, because they added rich-text editing support (contentEditable). A spec to standardize clipboard access would be needed, because currently each browser has its own way. -- http://www.robodesign.ro ROBO Design - We bring you the future
