Is it possible to know if text to an input field was added by typing or by using paste?

$('document').on("keyup", ".tfs", function(e) {
   alert("typed text");
})

$('.tfs').on('paste', function(e) {
   alert("paste text!");
});

EDIT: I'm looking for an solution which is not an inline code solution such as onpaste(). I'm need to do this using bind ( .on now ) as per my code above.

  • Your code shud work. – Zee May 20 '15 at 05:29
  • @EvanKnowles: I came across that post while googling. Inline `onpaste` is not the solution I'm seeking. I'm finding a solution using `bind` (`.on` now) – Becky May 20 '15 at 05:34
  • Most browsers support the `paste event` on forms and text inputs, but not all on window or document. So you have to bind it to the input element. [reference](http://quirksmode.org/dom/events/cutcopypaste.html) – Michel May 20 '15 at 05:35

something may help 

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#textA").bind({
        copy : function(){
            $('span').text('copy behaviour detected!');
        },
        paste : function(){
            $('span').text('paste behaviour detected!');
        },
        cut : function(){
            $('span').text('cut behaviour detected!');
        }
    });

});

There are 's around document. Remove them or use this code - 

$('.tfs').on("keypress", function(e) {
   alert("typed text");
})

$('.tfs').on('paste', function(e) {
   alert("paste text!");
});

FIDDLE

The keypress event will allow to check for characters not arrows or backspace etc.
