I wasn't referring to any *specific* spec. It can be a new one, in which this would fit in, or ... any of the current specs being worked on (of course, if there's one which could have this). > Before I started working on copy and paste of formulae for ActiveMath, > the MSIE API seemed to be interesting... six months later... googling > for the same just gives pages and pages of security warnings to please > update your MSIE... before you actually get to the API documentation. > I don't think what they provide is reasonable or takeable and i believe > this is because of the clipboard access without user-gestures.

Take a look at: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ That's a pretty old WYSIWYG editor demo for Gecko. They do allow web pages to cut/copy/paste only if the user grants access. They don't currently provide an UI for enabling the feature, but the capability is in place. -- http://www.robodesign.ro ROBO Design - We bring you the future
