document.querySelector('[contenteditable]').addEventListener('paste', function (event) { | |
event.preventDefault(); | |
document.execCommand('inserttext', false, event.clipboardData.getData('text/plain')); | |
}); |
As @jp3492 has said, the execCommand
API is deprecated. The following code works the same by just setting the inner text of the target element.
function pasteAsPlainText(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.target.innerText = event.clipboardData.getData("text/plain");
}
