Hi,

I have a dynamically created editor using iframe in my application having cut copy and paste options. All options are working fine except the paste. I am using the following code for paste

eval('frame1').document.execCommand('paste');

Please help me in this.

Thanks,

It does not work in all browsers... Why using it? It assumes the user has something in Clipboard. Why?

Assuming there is a textbox inside that iframe, something like this should work:

JavaScript

eval('frame1').document.Form1.txtArea.focus();
PastedText = eval('frame1').document.Form1.txtArea.createTextRange();
PastedText.execCommand("Paste");
