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

document.addEventListener('paste', function(e){
    if(e.clipboardData.types.indexOf('text/html') > -1){
        processDataFromClipboard(e.clipboardData.getData('text/html'));
        e.preventDefault();

        ...
    }
});

Further:

• Clipboard API and events
