That's entirely a limitation imposed by JavaScript not supporting keyboard access. We'd rather not rely on Flash, but we have to in this case.

I guess you mean "clipboard"?

Anyway, I was being facetious, but that does show there are things you can do currently with flash|java|whatever that you can't do with JS.

Obviously I'll be happier when it's possible to do everything only with JS.
