Just try this:
What if you happened to have Ctrl-C'ed your credit card number!!!
I didn't investigate why it doesn't work with Opera & Firefox. Wait a minute... does this give me another reason to claim that IE SUCKS!!!

There's a way to avoid IE being exploited this way:
1. Go to
Tools -> Options
2. Select 'Security' tab
3. Under 'Scripting' select 'Disable' on 'Allow paste operations via script'.
But remember buddies, IE sucks B.I.G. time!
