jquery Alphanumeric plug-in not working onpaste event

Question

I try to use the jquery Alphanumeric plug-in http://itgroup.com.ph/alphanumeric/ and it works fine.The problem is when I paste this text !@#$%^&*()_67890-qwertyuiopasdfghjkl'zxcvbnm,. the textbox accepted it.

here is my code:

$("#<%=txtAddCompanyName.ClientID%>").alphanumeric({ allow: "'-., " });

I tried to changed my code to shown below but it was not working.

document.getElementById("<%=txtAddCompanyName.ClientID%>").onpaste = function() {
  $("#<%=txtAddCompanyName.ClientID%>").alphanumeric({ allow: "'-., " });
 }; 

Any ideas?

Update

look for this on alphanumeric.js

$(this).keypress
    (
        function (e)
            {

                if (!e.charCode) k = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
                    else k = String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);

                if (ch.indexOf(k) != -1) e.preventDefault();
                if (e.ctrlKey&&k=='v') e.preventDefault();

            }

    );

then change keypress to keydown at least this will prevent pasted values...

other than that, I have no other suggestion....
