"do you want to allow this webpage to access your clipboard?"

[laurajc]

If I am in Explorer or anyone looking at my page in explorer gets a message that asks "do you want to allow this webpage to access your cliboard?"

How do I make it stop doing that? It only does it in explorer so I didn't even realize for a while it since I use Firefox.

It would be helpful if you would post a link to your site, including a direct link to the page where you're seeing this.

I highly recommend adding your site to your signature. Click You! above and to the left, then Edit Signature. That way it will always be avilable to the helpers here.

You have some very evil javascript code that is causing this. Please remove it. It is this code and it is at the end of your Top Javascript:

/*turn off printscreen*/
function clearImage()
{
r = window.clipboardData.clearData("Image")
}
ci = setInterval("clearImage()", 10)


This code it trying to trash the contents of anyone's clipboard who happens to visit your site. If I knew a site was doing that, I would never ever visit it again. You are punishing honest people.

Ah, that fixed it! I had no idea that was in there! Thanks you so much for fixing it, but mostly for de-eviling my page!

Looks like an attempt to keep people from copy/pasting pics off their page (by constantly clearing their clipboard of images) - I agree, this is not nice, and I really wonder how it got there without laurajc knowing about it.... a little spooky

It floated around dgrin a few years ago as a way to foil screen shots. A bunch of people grabbed it and put it in their customization until some of us spoke up about how horrible it was and convinced everyone it was evil. I can think of no reason why someone else would put this in. It's more likely that it got copied from a thread as a "new anti-theft device" without understanding what the consequences of using it were.
