Clipboard Error Message:
If a clipboard error message like the one below each time they try to enter a
numeric value in the statistical survey is encountered please have them do the following:
We have done some research and have found that a new security setting Microsoft has
included with IE7 is causing this. Here is an excerpt from the release notes page for IE.
Security Settings for Script Access to the Clipboard--New security-related updates
for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 include a change in the default security settings for
Script Access to the clipboard. Sites using scripts to access the clipboard in the Internet
and Trusted sites zones will receive a prompt that will inform the user that their clipboard
is being accessed by script. The prompt will require user permission to continue. This is
designed to prevent the possibility of information disclosure through script access to the clipboard.
Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/releasenotes/default.aspx
for more information. The text above appears toward the bottom of the page.
Several pages make use of the user’s clipboard, Organization List, Edit Organization,
Person List, Edit Person, Statistical Profile, and some pages within administration
section of Event Manager. To work around this error, do the following:
- Open Internet Explorer and click the Tools.
- Click Internet Options.
- Click the Security tab.
- Click Custom Level.
- Scroll down to the Scripting section and find “Allow Programmatic clipboard access.”
- By default, this setting should be set to “Prompt”. Change the setting to “Enable.”
- Click OK and Apply the settings.
- It may be necessary to close and re-open the browser
