Is There An Event That Occurs After Paste?

Solution 1:

Here's an example of handling paste event:

It's supported on many browsers but not 100% - see this table for compatibility: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/cutcopypaste.html

You can also work around not having a paste event on some browsers by:

• Remembering full contents of the form field at some time

• Setting a timeout event

• On timeout, take the contents of the field again, compare to the previous contents, and detect changes. Lather, rinse, repeat
