Accessing the clipboard is pretty simple in IE - but quite difficult in Chrome / Firefox / other Mozilla browsers.

 

What are you trying to do?

Due to a myriad of security concerns, accessing the local computer via web browser is not just "press button and it happens".  There is a Javascript library that should take most of the pain out of it - I would advise that you check out ZeroClipboard and see if that will do the trick for you.
