Whenever i paste text in textarea , it should strip the character like <,>,@ etc. i try in JQuery

$('input').on('paste', function () { var element = this; setTimeout(function () { var text = $(element).val(); // do something with text }, 100); });


$('input').on('paste', function () { 
    var element = this; 
    setTimeout(function () {
    var text = $(element).val(); 
    text.replace('<', '') );                                           
    }, 100); });

You are using input element selector which matches only elements with tagname as input like <input type="..." />, instead of textarea so

$('textarea').on('paste', function() {
  var $el = $(this);
  setTimeout(function() {
    $el.val(function(i, val) {
      return val.replace(/[<>@]/g, '')
    })
  })
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<textarea id="test" name="test" style="height:300px; width:400px"></textarea>
