Pasting from Excel with jQuery File Upload on page causes upload

Question

To boil it down, I have two inputs on the page. One is a text input, the other is a file input. If I copy and paste an Excel spreadsheet cell to the text input, it triggers a file upload to the file input. I'd like to allow copy-paste without triggering the file upload.

Answer 1

The key here is to set the pasteZone to null

$("#fileupload").fileupload({
    pasteZone: null   //make it $(document) or specific container for enabling it
})
