Catch paste input

Question

I\'m looking for a way to sanitize input that I paste into the browser, is this possible to do with jQuery?

I\'ve managed to come up with this so far:

Answer 1

This code is working for me either paste from right click or direct copy paste

   $('.textbox').on('paste input propertychange', function (e) {
        $(this).val( $(this).val().replace(/[^0-9.]/g, '') );
    })

When i paste Section 1: Labour Cost it becomes 1 in text box.

To allow only float value i use this code

 //only decimal
    $('.textbox').keypress(function(e) {
        if(e.which == 46 && $(this).val().indexOf('.') != -1) {
            e.preventDefault();
        } 
       if (e.which == 8 || e.which == 46) {
            return true;
       } else if ( e.which < 48 || e.which > 57) {
            e.preventDefault();
      }
    });
