New IE question

So how do you turn off that stupid window that opens "do you want to allow this webpage to access your clipboard?"  or some such wording?  Everytime I post, I get that stupid thing.

Found this on a IE7 Newsgroup....
"Internet Options, Security tab, Custom button in Internet Zone, scroll down to Scripting and Allow clipboard access. Apply and OK"

However I would be concerned about overall allowing this as some websites may use information stored on clipboard for things other then you may want. [smiley=nervous.gif]

John, what you're describing is an access thing.  Go to "Tools" up on top of the Explorer screen, then choose "Internet Options," then "Security," then the "Custom Level" button within the security screen.  Once inside there go way down toward the bottom of the list to the "Scripting" section."  Inside that section find "Progammatic Clipboard Access" and enable it.

Like all this there are pros and cons to having this on.  I had mine on for other reasons so never saw the message you're describing relative to the site here.  But that should fix your problem.

Fired00d:
Also that box is defaulted to the "don't allow" button, so you can just hit enter and keep on going, don't have to take your hands off keyboard.

This is something that was allowed by IE6 by default.  IE7 forces the request.  I've got one circumstance that requires it be on anyway.

To me actually, now that this request forces me to think about, the question becomes why does the website ever need to access my clipboard anyway?  Neal, you got something you can turn off there?
