I never touch applets, but don't you run into a security restriction tryingto access the system clipboard from an untrusted applet? If you don't not really need to access the clipboard, can you just code around this?

Odd. I was not aware that text fields in applets would have that problem. Maybe it's just for AWT text fields, not Swing?

If paste worked, couldn't an applet grab something potentially confidential from the system clipboard?

I thought that it had to be triggered somehow by user action, not programatically. It definitely works via keyboard shortcuts in an unsigned AWT-based applet and in a signed Swing-based applet.

although, if it's IE/Vista, that could be different, I guess. Java version could have something to do with it too.I was using FireFox on XP, Java 1.5
