Ctrl+C may be the most important work we do everyday. But it's not a very safe thing to do. Read on to know why. What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you are Online... We do copy various data by Ctrl + C for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.
Just try this:
1) Copy any text by Ctrl + C
2) Click the link http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard-code.asp
(script works on Internet Explorer)
3) You will see the text you copied was accessed by this web page.
Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, credit card numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.
To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem , do the following:
1. Go to IE tools-> internet options->security
2. Press custom level
3. In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script.
Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.

Sahi. Thanks for that. :)
hey nice info..
Did u try disabling the option and run the JavaScript..bcoz When i did the Script still run..and the browser did block it
n the browser was IE
when tried on firefox it doesnt allow the display of clipboard contents(JS part) while the remaining HTML was executed properly..
Can be relied on firefox when it comes to security issues..
Vinod, this is for IE only.. so firefox browser can be trusted for this issue :).
And when you tried, did start the script again after changes made?
it works here for me.
