Hello Vijai,

Refer the below example :

<script>
function fnBeforePaste() {
event.returnValue = false;
}
// Cancel the returnValue in onpaste for the text input, which
// has a default behavior.
function fnPaste() {
event.returnValue = false;
oTarget.innerText = window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
}
</script>

<div class="clsTarget" ID="oTarget" onbeforepaste="fnBeforePaste()" onpaste="fnPaste()">
Paste the Text Here
</div>

Hope this will help you.

Hi Nirav,

Thanks for you support.

I tried the above code.again it's working perfectly in IE ,Chrome not in firefox.

I beleive the syntax

window.clipboardData.getData("Text"); is not supported by firefox.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vijai.

Script is on or turned off in firefox check once as it is working in IE and Chrome why not in firefox.

Try to check with different browser like on opera.
If still problem persists then there might be problem with in the browser.

There is slight change in firefox for copying clipboard data, you need to use 'Clipboard.clipboardData' , it works on firefox version 22 and above
OR you can use following method in firefox
Services.clipboard.getData(trans, Services.clipboard.kGlobalClipboard);
