Hi Everyone,
The following code traps the key stroke "backspace" in a web form so that
the user can't navigate back to the last page.
However I would like to engage the function only when the user is not in a
form element.
Does anyone know what code I should use?
Thanks
Bill Marriott
function mykeyhandler() {
if (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 8) { // try to cancel the
backspace
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
window.event.returnValue = false;
return false;
}
}
document.onkeydown = mykeyhandler;
