How to alert after paste event in Javascript?

Question

I have a simple past event as

document.getElementById(\'paste_area\').addEventListener(\'paste\', function() {
    document.getElementById(\'notice\').innerH

You could put your alert in a setTimeout.

setTimeout(function() {alert('Pasted');}, 0);

This will delay the code until after the value has updated.

Just keep in mind that this in the setTimeout callback will have a different value than that in the enclosing environment.

If you'll need a reference to the outer this, which will be the element, then reference it in a variable...

var self = this;
setTimeout(function() {alert(self.value);}, 0);

Or use .bind() (Supported in most browsers that support addEventListener. Older Safari didn't support it.)...

setTimeout(function() {alert(this.value);}.bind(this), 0);
