A simple script has it all: var content = clipboardData.getData("Text"); alert(content); put this in the script tag! Didn't know it was that easy! Solution for IE: Go to internet options->security Press custom level In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script Not every browser seems to be allowing such easy way of protection ;) Solution for Chrome: Go to browser "Options" Choose Under the Hood Tab --> Content Settings Select Javascript -- Don't allow any site to run JavaScript I haven't tested this yet though! Let me know if you know better ways :) and also how to do it on various browsers :) Thanks!

When we try executing our suite on Firefox, there is an issue with the new Selenium 1.0.3 server: Got result: XHR ERROR: URL = http://www.____.com/ Response_Code = 503 Error_Message = Serrvice Temporarily Unavailable on session b882a11224b7____ This doesn't occur with the older selenium server jar but just the new one. Root Cause: This occurs mainly due to Open command If we alter the open command to have its second argument as TRUE...it works! Reference: Reference2 Also suggest  that you might want to use the latest version of Selenium RC...RC's 2 and above don't throw the XHR error... Get the latest RC here .

we get this error when we are trying to run a testng annotated java selenium code on firefox: "[testng] com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: this.getCurrentWindow is not a function" Then all the other annotations are SKIPPED. A workaround for such an error would be to put the line of code which gives this error under a try block. In my case it was openReader() I changed the code as below: try{ openReader()} catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.toString());} The class should throw the Exception too! This solved the problem and after the exception is printed, the execution continues!
