This way people would be less likely to post spam. After a little while of researching, I found a way to disable the paste function in a text box using html. Also, here’s how you disable the copy and cut functions as well:

Just add these to your textarea tag:

Disable the paste function: onPaste="return false;"

Disable the copy function: onCopy="return false;"

Disable the cut function: onCut="return false;"

If you want to disable all three: onPaste=”return false;” onCut=”return false;” onCopy=”return false;”

I can't guarantee that this works in all browsers, however I know it works in most Internet Explorer Browsers and Firefox.
