Hi Theodore,
I use TinyMCE with *paste and legacyoutput *plug-in and I was able to solve
copy and paste issue.
Here is the sample tinyMCE setting:
<script type = "text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1 :
"bold,italic,separator,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,undo,redo,separator,cleanup,
separator, spellchecker, iespell",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
verify_html : true,
cleanup : true,
plugins : "legacyoutput,paste,spellchecker,iespell",
extended_valid_elements : "b,i,strike,u"
});
</script>
Regards,
Kai S. Wong
