Are you trying to stop the user selecting the text and copying from your page, or trying to stop them pasting content into your page? Or trying to stop them copying text from one part of your page to another?

As Pankaj suggests you can stop the drop action using:

JavaScript

ondrop="return false;"

As you've already suggested you can stop the paste action using:

JavaScript

onpaste="return false;"

You can also stop the user selecting text from any part of your website by using the following on the relevant elements:

JavaScript

onselectstart="return false;"

You can use the following property to disable the drops on the textbox.

JavaScript

ondrop="return false;"
