Usually webpages cannot read the clipboard, and instead rely on the browser/os/whatever sending them its contents when the user ctrl+v or right-click-paste. It would then be received as a javascript event.
- loxias 3y agoOk, thanks. That matches my model of the world. You said "usually", are there any particular exceptions you have in mind?
