window.clipboardData.getData("Text") doesnt work in chrome

I have this javascript function:

function maxLengthPaste(field,maxChars)
{
    event.returnValue=false;
    if((field.value.length + window.clipboardData.getData("Text").length) > maxChars) {
        field.value = field.value + window.clipboardData.getData("Text").substring(0, maxChars - field.value.length);
        return false;
    }
    event.returnValue=true;
}

The window.clipboardData.getData("Text") doesn't work in Chrome browser Is there any crossbrowser code to substitute it?
