Then, you need to attach "onkeydown" events to an element or your body.

Then, you need to use the event cancelling to stop the key event if the user pressed an arrow key.

Open this script in a browser and push keyboard keys. It will show you the key codes to check for.

<i>
</i>
window.onkeydown=function(e){

var k=e ? e.which : window.event.keyCode;

alert(k);


}

@Tweak4Oct 01.2007 — Of course, disabling keys is generally considered a horrible idea, and a sure-fire way to piss off your users... Just something to keep in mind...

Maybe the goal of the project is precisely to do that :-)

@baranwalravi123authorOct 01.2007 — hi all

actually i have written code for disabling the F5 key as

document.onkeydown = function(){

if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 116)

{ // Capture and remap F5

window.event.keyCode = 505;

}

if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 505)

{ // New action for F5

return false;

// Must return false or the browser will refresh anyway

}

but not getting proper idea abt Alt,up,down,left,right key

if any one give some help then it will be great

thanks

@Declan1991Oct 01.2007 — Do the same thing as you have done for F5, except change the codes to the correct keys.

Disabling the arrow keys and the alt key will mean that many users who rely on those keys for navigation won't be happy.

Success!
