(Toolkit Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

Description

[rohan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The following javascript function doesn't work properly in Firefox:

thePaste = clipboardData.getData('Text');

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try the code
2. That is all

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
set the variable "thePaste" equal to the text a user intends to copy from their
clipboard

I double-checked the bug before posting, it definately works properly in
Internet Explorer, so the problem is Firefox, not the code.
