I'm looking for a way to sanitize input that I paste into the browser, is this possible to do with jQuery?

I've managed to come up with this so far:

$(this).live(pasteEventName, function(e) {
 // this is where i would like to sanitize my input
 return false;
}

Unfortunately my development has come to a screeching hold because of this "minor" issue. I would really make me a happy camper if someone could point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
