There is javascript on the sites (I use html protector to protect my hard work as I type out all my code in notepad) and I have never had this error show up on my computer using firefox browser. The protector I use disables highlighting, drag and drop, copy/paste, and other activities and I wonder if something in there is what does it. If so, that would be an example of a good reason for it... I do not want my work stolen! It also rewrites the whole page into a jumbled looking code so that it can not be copied. Anyway, if anyone has advice please shoot me an email I would appreciate it!</p> Admin Notes: Well, obviously you DO have an idea why! Your javascript is messing with the clipboard.

However, such sites (ones that you DO want to allow silent access of your clipboard) are the minority. I've yet to see a good "white hat" example. Kerry,

You may, of course, set this for the Internet, in general, but you can also set it (otherwise) for your trusted sites. Now, for extra precaution, you might well want to turn it on and off for trusted sites as you need it, but that's up to you.
