The onpaste attribute works when some content is pasted in an element. This event attribute is supported by all HTML elements. It is mostly used with <input> element.
There are three ways to paste the content in HTML elements which are listed below:
- Use CTRL + V key
- Select "Paste" from the edit menu in the browser.
- select the "Paste" command from the right-click menu
Syntax:
<element onpaste = "script">Attribute Value
The script event runs when the onpaste attribute is called.
