What happens if..

[Breakfloor]

i let a site access my clipboard?

(sorry if wrong forum)

You mean what you copy (aka clipboard like you said)

Well, firstly, is there a way? Secondly, they'd see what you copy...

[Mentor]

Well it can be done, even via JS last time i checked o.0 (at least in some browsers).

Just means it can read and write to your clip board (what you haved copyed or cut, and which will be shown when u paste)

I dont understand what u mean by clipboard, clipboard to me is a mircrosoft office tool where u can copy & paste more than 1 item kinda

[Breakfloor]

Would it be dangerous to let a site have acces to it?

[Mentor]

Depends what you copy and paste.

The clipboard is the information stored when you copy or cut somthing. Press control V, in to this box and it will paste what evers in your clip board right now. Thats what it could read.
If you copy somthing else, that will then be in your clip board. Etc

could be dangerous if you copy passwords often and if you copy sensitive data.

TBH i wouldnt ever let a site get hold of my clipboard! :)

If you use IE any site can get your clipboard contence anyway.

This code would do it even:

<a onclick="javascript: alert(window.clipboardData.getData('Text'));" >Alert my Clipboard contence</a>
