Can anybody tell me what ElementToPaste is and what it's purpose is for? I cannot find any documentation on this.

I guess that you are refering to an attribute on an HTML control? If so then you will find next to nothing in any documentation about these attributes and will have to resort to reading through the javascript module - ibirls2.js (or ibirls3.js at the relevant release) to determine how they are used.

Yes, the ElementToPaste is an HTML attribute. I have searched the forum, technical documentation, and Google with no luck. I did look into the ibirls2.js file. A quick search turned up no matches. I also read the file to see if there is anything that may find use of this attribute and found nothing.

More info...
I created a simple HTML page with just two buttons. Look at the HTML code and you should see no ElementToPaste. Now, go back to the gui, select the two buttons, copy/paste. I bet you will now see the ElementToPaste.

I think this attribute does absolutely nothing, but add unneeded text to my HTML. It would be nice if the HTML Painter tool did not rewrite my HTML.
