This now works for IE FF Chrome properly... I have not tested for other browsers though 

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('#txtInput').on("cut copy paste",function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
   });
});

Edit: As pointed out by webeno, .bind() is deprecated hence it is recommended to use .on() instead.
