In this article, we would like to show you oncut event example in JavaScript.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
var myElement = document.querySelector('#my-element');
​
myElement.addEventListener('cut', function() {
    console.log('oncut event occurred.');
});

or:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<input type="text" oncut="handleCut()">

or:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
var myElement = document.querySelector('#my-element');
​
myElement.oncut= function() {
    console.log('oncut event occurred.');
};

Practical examples

Edit

There are three common ways how to use oncut event:

with event listener,
with element attribute,
with element property.

In this example, we will execute handleCut() when the user cuts some text from the input (oncut event).

1. Event listener based example

Edit

In this section, we want to show how to use oncut event on input element via event listener mechanism.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <input type="text" id="my-input" value="Cut this text.">
    <script>
      var myInput = document.querySelector('#my-input');
​
      myInput.addEventListener('cut', function() {
        console.log('oncut event occurred.');
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Auto running

2. Attribute based example

Edit

In this section, we want to show how to use oncut event on input element via attribute.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <input type="text" oncut="handleCut()" value="Cut this text.">
    <script>
      function handleCut(){
        console.log('oncut event occurred.');
      }
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Auto running

3. Property based example

Edit

In this section, we want to show how to use oncut event on input element via property.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <input type="text" id="my-input" value="Cut this text.">
    <script>
      var myInput = document.querySelector('#my-input');
​
      myInput.oncut = function() {
        console.log('oncut event occurred.');
      };
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
