menu) completes the task of moving the selected content to the system
clipboard. At this point in the copy sequence, a function invoked by
this event handler can perform additional or substitute processing
for the normal system copy action. For example, additional
information from the element, such as effective style information of
the element containing selected text), can be preserved in the IE
<span class="literal">clipboardData</span> object (see Chapter 9) for later processing with the help of
the <span class="literal">onbeforepaste</span> event handler. Canceling the
<span class="literal">onbeforecopy</span> event does not prevent user copying
of a selection.
