How to get properties of a file in the clipboard?

[lancer227]

Hi, I would need to retrieve properties such as creation date, length, modification date, etc. from a file in the clipboard.

Is it possible or not?

Thank you.

If this were possible, it probably wouldn't be cross browser.

I had a quick go in IE using the getData method of the window's clipboardData object... but had no joy.

It might be possible using some ActiveX control... and maybe Firefox has some clipboard mechanisms. You might want to have a search on Google for something like "JavaScript Clipboard", etc.

Hope this helps,
Dan
