I managed (using: <body oncopy="return MyJavaScriptFunction()">) to get the selection and modify it (removing unwanted characters) but I do not know how to put the resulting string onto the clipboard.
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/127040/copy-put-text-on-the-clipboard-with-firefox-safari-and-chrome> seems to imply that this is (for security reasons) impossible.
There is some discussion about using Flash to circumvent this - but I will NOT install Flash on my computer.
So what to do next?
