just so you know, IE7 doesnt like websites touching the clipboard, it throws up security warnings

and rightly so.
The clipboard does not belong to websites. And removing things from it that you didn't put there yourself is something you should never do.

exactly

the reason IE7 includes security for it is because idiotic people use the clipboard to copy and paste thier online banking details etc.... from a document into the website. Potentially malicious scripts stored in e.g compromised ads could then steal the data.
