Hallvord -- That behavior is really all I wanted, i.e. "don't let the browser discard/ignore valid RTF clipboard data". I would also echo Paul's thoughts: this sounds good but is there any OS/browser-level sanitization process necessary? I would be curious to hear from Ben if Microsoft already h

[clipboard] Feature detect Clipboard API support?

2015-02-11 Thread James M. Greene
The current spec still leaves me a bit unclear about if implementors must include the ability to feature detect Clipboard API support, which I think is a critical requirement. In particular, I *need* to be able to detect support for the Clipboard API (click-to-copy support, in particular) in advan

Regardless of protocol, a site that contains sensitive data should be implemented such that it doesn't use this API nor include any unverified 3rd party libraries/extension that may.
