at the page www.ircspy.com you can search for something like ''mozilla''
then it lets you see the results that were found.
you have certain numbers(like #14) if you put you're mouebutton over it it says
''press ctrl-c and the text will be copied to the clipboard''
but it doesn't copy the text to the clipboard.with IE there's no problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download mirc(download program)and install it(it's very easy)
2.run mirc
3.go to http://www.ircspy.com and search for (example: nokia)and press enter
4.just pick out the first one and put you're mouse cursor on the number(for
example #14).
5.you get a balloon tip with the text saying:-->''press ctrl-v and the text will
be copied to the clipboard''.
6.click on the number(for example #14) and mirc will start-up.
7.wait till it has connected and till you are on the channel and then press ctrl-v.
8.you will see that it doesn't work.


Actual Results:  
nothing because it won't paste the text to the field where it has to be pasted.

Expected Results:  
paste the ''copied to the clipboard'' text in the field in Mirc

This is an identical dupe of 247602, which itself is a dupe of 239481.

Behaviour seen is correct, as it prevents unsigned code accessing the clipboard.
