Update to onpaste
As I posted yesterday, onpaste is Internet Explorer’s handler for detecting a user’s pasting into a textarea or input. However, Internet Explorer seems to fire onpaste before the actual paste of text occurs in some circumstances, which makes the whole event irrelevant. Luckily, there’s a quick fix: make onpaste run your function on a timeout.
Here’s a quick example:
function iePasteDelay(){
setTimeout(’pasteIt()’,1)
}
function pasteIt(){
// your paste function
}
and in the code…
That one millisecond delay is enough to force Internet Explorer to run your function after the actual text has been pasted. Problem solved.
