Which makes web author's lives harder than necessary. I've related bug 11335. 453165 1 ayg 2011-08-18 11:17:26 -0700 The current spec requires either throwing SECURITY_ERR, or treating it as unsupported (which if you look at the execCommand() definition means throwing NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR): http://aryeh.name/spec/editing/editing.html#the-paste-command Firefox 7.0a2 throws NS_ERROR_DOM_XPCONNECT_ACCESS_DENIED. If you think logging an error is a better idea than throwing, please explain why and I'll consider changing the spec.
