globally removing unprintable characters [solved]

[devnull]

Hi;

I am facing a lot of problems where users are copying data from microsoft word and pasting into the inputs.

Is there any way of globally removing unprintable characters from any input without having to write an onChange event for each individual input ?

Thanks

If you are using the 'textbox' component, you can bind the 'paste' event to the input box. Reset the inputed characters after pasting to the input box.

Code:

$.extend($.fn.textbox.defaults.inputEvents, {
	paste: function(e){
		var t = $(e.data.target);
		setTimeout(function(){
			var v = t.textbox('getText');
			v = ...	// modify it
			t.textbox('setText', v);
		},0)
	}
})

[devnull]
