How to add onpaste event to future created element

Question

I am trying to bind onpaste event to all the elements inside container, using jquery

$('.container').on("paste","*",function(e){});

But on my browser this is not working, and i think now their is no on paste event exist in jquery, So i think i must use javascript

$('.container')[0].addEventListener("paste",function(e){});

This works fine but only works for class container , how can i bind this handler to all the future created elements in container

Any idea?

jQuery uses native events, so your first example should work, although note that the `paste` event is not very well supported in IE if that's what you're testing in: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/Events/paste — Rory McCrossan, Jan 16 '17 at 10:46
`$(document).on('input','.container',function(){})` try this way — guradio, Jan 16 '17 at 10:49

@beginner on addition of new elements in `.container`, you have to call this line again `$('.container')[0].addEventListener("paste",function(e){});` — Muhammad Ans, Jan 16 '17 at 10:51
Not much else that can be done if you need IE support. Also note that you have a typo in your code: there's a `.` instead of a `,` — Rory McCrossan, Jan 16 '17 at 10:51

By "future created element" you mean: dynamically created elements? i.e you are creating elements dynamically using JavaScript and want "onPaste" event to be bound to them? – NewbieCoder Jan 16 '17 at 11:08
