As it is already pointed out accessing clipboard is either not possible or restricted for security reasons for all components running on a page in a browser (restricted == is unlikely to be enabled by anyone, especially for such "spy on clipboard" purpose).

For standalone application you can either scan clipboard all the time or use clipboard filters.

Native functions are around SetClipboardViewer and GetClipboardData.

From a web development standpoint, you can not access the clipboard directly. You will have to create either a Flash or Silverlight hook into the clipboard to get the data.

For security reasons, you will never be able to do that in Javascript.
