with IE no problem to stop events

e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = false;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(“MSIE”)!=-1){
e.keyCode = 0;
}
return false;

Is there any way to stop keyboard events with firefox ?

@KorMay 11.2005 — try

if(e.returnValue){

e.returnValue = false;

e.cancelBubble = true;

}

if(e.preventDefault){

e.preventDefault();

e.stopPropagation();

}

...

return false;

@KorMay 11.2005 — maybe you should specify:

if(!e){e==event} or something similar... I don't know your whole code and what you intend to do....

@makinaauthorMay 11.2005 — no it isn't the problem

imagine a page in firefox where you have 2 input

press tab

if you can stop this event (prevent cursor to go to next input)you win lol

but I can't

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

document.onkeypress=make;

function make(event){

if (event.keyCode == 9) {

var newEvent = document.createEvent("KeyEvents")

newEvent.initKeyEvent("keypress", true, true, document.defaultView, event.ctrlKey, event.altKey, event.shiftKey, event.metaKey, 0, doit())

event.preventDefault()

event.target.dispatchEvent(newEvent)

}

}

function doit(){

//alert("toto");

}


</script>

<input type="text" value="">

<input type="text" value="">

Success!
