There is a Web site that I have to use that disables my ability to copy to or paste from the Windows clipboard (it's a school thing).  I believe that it uses Javascript to do this and I want to be able to get around this.  As long as I have this site open in IE, none of my applications can use the clipboard at all.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

Look for something like 'disable paste operations via script' in the secutity zone thing.

IE allows web pages to read/write the clipboard.. on of the many reasons why I don't use IE.

or just turn off all js?

That sounds like a nice, subtle denial of service attack for some malicious script to do to people.


To the original poster: do you have the option of using some other browser like Firefox?
