Sorry, I don't think so... while we can certainly copy/paste in the

authoring environment, things inside browsers usually have constraints on

how they can transfer information.


(There were some security problems a few years ago with clipboard content

secretly getting sent to CGI routines, so objects in browsers are usually

very careful these days about access to user data.)
