Do we have any control over that context menu we get in the browser control? We currently have the options to "Copy" and "Select All".

I would like the option to Paste.

I can provide my own custom context menu but that won't help me get access to the clipboard without a security warning.

I do have a workaround but my users will need to know how to use ctrl+v. Issue? I don't know. Probably. :)

Chowder	Your belief is correct! Follow these instructions: http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/ index.html?whichScript=context_menu I was able to modify the context menu in byonds browser...

Tsfreaks	Creating a custom menu is not the problem. Getting access to the clipboard is. ts

Chowder	Then a combination of http://snipplr.com/view/2383/copy-selected-text/ and http://www.dynamic-tools.net/toolbox/copyToClipboard/

Tsfreaks	That's right, there are ways to get at the clipboard. However, the script based ones prompt the user and that is what I'm trying to avoid. 1. I either have to use an additional technology and force my users to install something like java. 2. Ask them to add me as a trusted site. 3. Have BYOND provide a paste option somehow or deal with it. ts
