Menu
In HTML5 we know that we can read files using predefined API. As of now I have tried
<input type="file"> and the File Drop method. They have worked fine for me.
But I want to know the possibility of pasting a file on a div and capturing the file on paste. For Example
$('#dummyDIV').bind('paste',function()
{
// Like var file = files[0]
});
Thanks

You can disable cut, copy, and paste using the oncut, oncopy, and onpaste event attributes with the target HTML elements. If you want to disable cut, copy, and paste for the complete web page, you need to use these event attributes with the body tag.
We'll first need to assign this field to a variable and attach a click handler. const paste = document. getElementById('paste'); paste. addEventListener('click', () => { // Do our action });
The onpaste attribute lets us prevent pasting into the form. Adding the autocomplete attribute as well as preventing drag and drop into the element. If you want to avoid the on{event} code in the HTML, you can do it the cleaner way: myElement.
You can only read the file name of pasted file.

$('body').bind('paste', function(a, b, c) {
console.log(a.originalEvent.clipboardData);
console.log(a.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('File'));
console.log(a.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('Text'));
if (a.originalEvent.clipboardData.files[0]) console.log(a.originalEvent.clipboardData.files[0].getAsFile());
if (a.originalEvent.clipboardData.items[0]) console.log(a.originalEvent.clipboardData.items[0].getAsFile());
console.log(a, b, c);
});
It would be a major security hole if any browser would allow this situation to happen.
