points
In this article, we would like to show you oncut event example in JavaScript.
Quick solution:
var myElement = document.querySelector('#my-element');
myElement.addEventListener('cut', function() {
console.log('oncut event occurred.');
});
or:
<input type="text" oncut="handleCut()">
or:
var myElement = document.querySelector('#my-element');
myElement.oncut= function() {
console.log('oncut event occurred.');
};
Practical examples
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
In this section, we want to show how to use oncut event on input element via event listener mechanism.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
<!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>
2. Attribute based example
In this section, we want to show how to use oncut event on input element via attribute.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<input type="text" oncut="handleCut()" value="Cut this text.">
<script>
function handleCut(){
console.log('oncut event occurred.');
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
3. Property based example
In this section, we want to show how to use oncut event on input element via property.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
<!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>
