How to disable Paste Ctrl V with jQuery

Question

How can I disable Paste  Ctrl V  option using jQuery in one of my input text fields

User · Answer

I tried this in my Angular project and it worked fine without jQuery.

<input type='text' ng-paste='preventPaste($event)'>

And in script part:

$scope.preventPaste = function(e){
   e.preventDefault();
   return false;
};

In non angular project, use 'onPaste' instead of 'ng-paste' and 'event' instesd of '$event'.

As of JQuery 1 7 you might want to use the on method instead    function          document  on  cut copy paste    txtInput  function e            e preventDefault

This now works for IE FF Chrome properly    I have not tested for other browsers though        document  ready function           txtInput   on  cut copy paste  function e          e preventDefault                 Edit  As pointed out by webeno   bind   is deprecated hence it is recommended to use  on   instead

Edit  It s almost 6 years later  looking at this now I wouldn t recommend this solution  The accepted answer is definitely much better  Go with that     This seems to work   You can listen to keyboard events with jQuery and prevent the event from completing if its the key combo you are looking for  Note  check 118 and 86  V and v   Working example here  http   jsfiddle net dannylane 9pRsx 4     document  ready function          document  keydown function event            if  event ctrlKey  true  amp  amp   event which     118     event which     86                  alert  thou  shalt  not  PASTE                 event preventDefault                             Update  keypress doesn t fire in IE  use keydown instead
