jQuery bind to Paste Event, how to get the content of the paste

by

There is an onpaste event that works in modern day browsers. You can access the pasted data using the getData function on the clipboardData object.

$("#textareaid").bind("paste", function(e){
    // access the clipboard using the api
    var pastedData = e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('text');
    alert(pastedData);
} );

Note that bind and unbind are deprecated as of jQuery 3. The preferred call is to on.

All modern day browsers support the Clipboard API.
