Hi all,

I was experimenting with what it would take to build a copy paste UI in 
javascript, and came up with this: 
http://kevingrandon.github.io/Firefox-OS-Clipboard/ (It should work fine in a 
firefox browser). Just hold your mouse button over text to activate the UI.

Obviously this is only a prototype, but I assume something like this could work 
the same way forms.js does. Some info:

- This requires gecko 20 for document.caretPositionFromPoint.

- I'm not sure if we need any API for this functionality, but some work on the 
selection object would be very nice. Ideally we could support getClientRects 
for input/textarea solutions. Something like IE's createTextRange 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms536401%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) could 
do the trick,  but maybe there's room to standardize something.

Anyway, just wanted to send that out in case anyone was interested.


Best,
Kevin Grandon
