UPDATED ANSWER Javascript was restricted from using the clipboard, early on. but nowadays it supports copy/paste commands. See documentation of mozilla and caniuse.com.

document.execCommand('paste')

make sure that you support browsers that don't.

Javascript is not allowed to use the clipboard, but other plugins like flash do have access.
