jquery how to get the pasted content

Question

I have a little trouble catching a pasted text into my input:

 <input type="text" id="myid" val="default">  $('#myid').on('paste',function(){         console.log($('#myid').val());  });   

console.log shows:

default 

How I catch the pasted text and get ready to use?

The accepted answer is actually hacky and ugly, seems to be suggested quite often for the paste event on stackoverflow. I think a better way to do it is this

$('#someInput').bind('paste', function(e) {     var data = e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('Text');     //IE9 Equivalent ==> window.clipboardData.getData("Text");    });
