[Shailesh Narkhede]

In JSP I am using Custom Text Tag but I need feature as User can not paste text in that textbox using mouse right click.
Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't want people to enter text into a field you can disable it using JavaScript.

I don't understand what right-clicking has to do with it, though.

[Shailesh Narkhede]

I want to restrict user to enter text from keyboard only.
Not from the mouse pasting,by right click & select option paste from contextmenu.

I'd call that user-hostile behavior. What's the difference between entering text by keyboard and entering text by copy-and-paste? Furthermore, what's the difference between copy-and-paste by keyboard and copy-and-paste by mouse?

I am displaying one small pop up below text box.
Data in pop up is comming from database table accroding to name we typed.
(i am using ajax for that.)I am connection to data base onKeyup.
& if no record found for you typed word then showing alert message as "Invalid name".
this is working for kayboard copy-paste but when i paste any invalid name by using mouse then it not showing alert because it not going to database.

So i want do textbox as only worked for keyboard.pasting by mouse is not paste anything in textbox.

What do you mean by "pop up"? A select element? If so, please use proper terminology.

So rather than trying to find a real solution you think just disabling paste is an acceptable solution?



Why not try to find a real way to solve the problem?

You have onfocus() onblur() onchange() events to work with. Some browsers support paste events too.
