How do I capture the input value on a paste event?

Question

On my site users can paste text (in this case a url) into an input field. I\'d like to capture the value of the text that was pasted using jQuery. I\'ve got this to work in

Answer 1

jQuery has a problem with the live-method with the paste-event in the IE; workaround:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".url").bind('paste', function(event) {
        var _this = this;
        // Short pause to wait for paste to complete
        setTimeout( function() {
            var text = $(_this).val();
            $(".display").html(text);
        }, 100);
    });
});
