[Javascript] TextArea Scroll

[Terry Riegel]

Hello Again,

Is it possible to "hijack" the normal function a key has. For example  
I would like to scan for CMD-F and if it is pressed run my search  
code. It seems to work except after my code runs then the browser  
gets the event and opens up the search dialog box. Is there a way  
after receiving the key event to stop it from going any further?

Thanks,

Terry
