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

See this example: http://www.p2e.dk/diverse/detectPaste.htm

It essentialy tracks every change with oninput event and then checks if it’s a paste by string comparison. Oh, and in IE there’s an onpaste event. So:

$ (something).bind ("input paste", function (e) {
    // check for paste as in example above and
    // do something
})
