    Yes, are you trying to detect the paste for a certain field? 

    $("#tdf_9").on("paste", function() {
alert("You pasted into the field!");
});​

      Thanks, Everett!!! Would it be possible for the code to intercept paste on any field in the form (i.e. without explicitly identifying each field)?

        For context, my ultimate goal is to force Chrome to paste into rich text fields the same way that Firefox pastes, i.e. base64 encoding any images in the clipboard. I have a form with a lot of rich text fields, and I would prefer to have the iol setup such that when a user pastes anywhere in the form, paste like Firefox.
