I need to paste the clipboard the data to an area (which is already setup and working). I am happy to use execCommand etc as its for IE only (if there is a solution without execcommand, even better). document.execcommand('paste') works fine and pastes what I copy, however I want to parse the data before it is pasted, removing certain html formatting. The problem is I cant find a way to get the clipboard data and do just that, if i use clipboardData.getData("Text") it has no formatting at all (which is not what i want), if i use clipboardData.getData("Url"), and try put in in a variable or something, it always returns null, even though document.execcommand('paste', false, clipboardData.getData("Url")) works fine. Anyone have some advice? Thanks. Loading...
