Yes, are you trying to detect the paste for a certain field?&nbsp;
$("#tdf_9").on("paste", function() {
alert("You pasted into the field!");
});​------------------------------Everett Patterson------------------------------

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.

Seems like the below code works. Let me know if "interiorContainer" isn't what I ought to be using. Now I just need to work out the code to replace the Chrome paste behavior with the Firefox paste behavior.$("#interiorContainer").on("paste", function() {alert("You pasted into the field!");});------------------------------Patrick Dunn------------------------------

Hm. "interiorContainer" isn't what I need. When you right-click on a rich text field and choose "paste" a pop-up appears. I need the code to recognize a paste action within that window. Thoughts? Thanks!------------------------------Patrick Dunn------------------------------
