The paste
event fires when the user initiates a paste action through the browser's user interface.
The original target for this event is the Element
that was the intended target of the paste action. You can listen for this event on the Document
interface to handle it in the capture or bubbling phases. For full details on this event please see the page on the Element: paste event.
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("paste", (event) => {});
onpaste = (event) => {};
To be informed when a user pastes data to the webpage from their clipboard, you can add a handler to your Document
instance using addEventListener()
, like this:
document.addEventListener("paste", (event) => {
});
Alternatively, you can use the Document.onpaste
event handler property to establish a handler for the paste
event:
document.onpaste = (event) => {
};
