There is no API for this in most browsers. The closest you're going to get is by using an applet (maybe flash).

Hei Tommy,

 

Thanks for your feedback on this. I just assumed that since it was possible to paste the image from the clipboard into the CKEditor (using FF), it would be able to get to the

pasted image info as well.

 

ok, I just have to instruct my users to save the image as a file first, and then upload the file instead.

 

Thanks !

 

Best regards,

Petter Kjeilen
