How to get clipboard text and html in Firefox when user pressed "Ctrl+V"

How to get clipboard text and html without Flash in Firefox when user pressed "Ctrl+V", I can move focus into a textarea to get the paste text, or move focus to a contenteditable div to get the paste html, but how to get them both?

If I move focus to a contenteditable div to get the paste html, and then extract the text from the innerHTML, it seems that text is not exactly the same with paste event text

Do you mean something like this demo. When you paste into the contenteditable and hit go, it'll give you both the text and HTML of what you pasted.

input = document.getElementById('a'); // is contenteditable
input.textContent; // plain text
input.innerHTML; // html
