oncut Event

❮ DOM Events ❮ ClipboardEvent

Example

Execute a JavaScript when cutting some text in an <input> element:

<input type="text" oncut="myFunction()" value="Try to cut this text">
Try it Yourself »

More "Try it Yourself" examples below.


Definition and Usage

The oncut event occurs when the user cuts the content of an element.

Note: Although the oncut event is supported by all HTML elements, it is not actually possible to cut the content of, for example, a <p> element, UNLESS the element has set contenteditable to "true" (See "More Examples" below).

Tip: The oncut event is mostly used on <input> elements with type="text".

Tip: There are three ways to cut the content of an element:

  • Press CTRL + X
  • Select "Cut" from the Edit menu in your browser
  • Right click to display the context menu and select the "Cut" command
