Copy Paste In JavaScript
<p>). This is an age-old question, but I'm still having trouble with it. You see, I'm trying to paste some Excel data in a Text Area, but the silly browsers freeze for long periods of time when doing this, because of God-knows-what "smart" parsing they do. I can't get rid of that (file upload is out of the question, my boss wants me to paste rows from Excel in a Text Area). </p>

<p>The good news is that pasting in a standard textbox WORKS. But I can't force them to paste there. So I am trying to catch the paste event in the Text Area and then throw the text over to the textbox. Unfortunately, I stopped short at the pasting part. I can't paste the text via JS into the simple textbox.</p>

<p>So my question is: how do you paste a text, how do you invoke it via JS? There are some solutions which only work in IE, that's not good, of course ::- ).</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated ::- D.</p>
