capture paste event / pasted html - javascript

I'd like to capture the pasted html in both mozilla and ie and then, before the paste event occurs, I'd like to modify it. Any suggestions?

Here's a small - neat - jQuery snippet for the capturing Cut/Copy/Paste events:

$("#Text1").bind('cut copy paste', function(e) {
    alert(e.type + ' text!'); //Alerts the Cut/Copy/Paste event        
});

You can do it, but it's hacky. You have to essentially redirect the paste to an off-screen element. Here's my answer to a similar question: JavaScript get clipboard data on paste event (Cross browser)
