Disable drop paste in HTML input fields?

Html FIle Disable drop paste in HTML input fields..

Solution

  • You can disable paste in your input as follows:

    html:

    <input type="text" value="" id="myInput">

    javascript:

    window.onload = () => {
 const myInput = document.getElementById('myInput');
 myInput.onpaste = e => e.preventDefault();
}

    Talking about security, I wouldn't say that this makes any impact. You would usually use client side and well as server-side validation of data submitted by the user.
