How can you catch a contentEditable paste event?

Question

I've got a great editable text area going with wysihat and contentEditable. I really need a way to intercept paste events to either stop them, or process their DOM before allowing insertion. It's a little crazy they people can paste entire webpages into the editable areas.

Is this possible?

Come on future, arrive on my doorstep. HTML5 gurus, fire!

Answer 1

You can't access the content's that will be inserted.

What you can do is add an event listener that runs some cleanup code on Ctrl+V (with a timeout, so it sees the pasted text)
