Read the client clipboard with jQuery?

Question

Is it possible to get/read the clipboard of a client with jQuery?

(I need get the information of a spread sheet and paste this information in a jqGrid web grid...)

Answer 1

Well according to this similar SO question it cannot be done with just JavaScript. Which is good, because it would be a major security risk. You need a small flash object to get the functionality you want.

In any way, this is a duplicate question.
