I'm not sure whether it wasn't obvious enough, or you're being a tad disingenuous. I was talking about a very simple implementation, which has worked for me on a number of occasions. Incidentally, if you weren't just nitpicking and really do rely on copy/paste between Excel and a web-based spreadsheet you need to be careful. JavaScript only has access to the plain-text clipboard from Excel. This is just the stuff you can see. If anything has been truncated for display purposes in Excel, it'll be missing from the copy buffer.
