And pro script access, not just user initiated access.

This would definitely work for me. It would allow for the text editor application to have buttons for cut/copy/paste. I would add that once the user allows the application access they should not be prompted again in the same session. Further thoughts on Jan's email: I had not thought of these as DOM events, but that's seems like a great idea. Would it give the application designer discreet paste targets? I assume it would.Received on Tuesday, 6 April 2004 16:07:55 UTC
