Question

I’m looking for a way to sanitize input that I paste into the browser, is this possible to do with jQuery?

I’ve managed to come up with this so far:

$(this).live(pasteEventName, function(e) {  // this is where i would like to sanitize my input  return false; } 

Unfortunately my development has come to a screeching hold because of this ‘minor’ issue. I would really make me a happy camper if someone could point me to the right direction.

I sort of fixed it by using the following code:

$('#editor').live('input paste',function(e){     if(e.target.id == 'editor') {         $('<textarea></textarea>').attr('id', 'paste').appendTo('#editMode');         $('#paste').focus();         setTimeout($(this).paste, 250);     } }); 

Now I just need to store the caret location and append to that position then I’m all set… I think 🙂
