Need to disable JQuery Table navigation when focus in on an input field.

Question

Hi, I need to disable table navigation when the focus is on an input field. I could bind to the keypress/keydown events and do it. Does table navigation support something for this? Any other suggestions welcome.

Kind regards.

From the looks of the documentation it appears that you could doing something like:

$(":input.myField")
  .focus(function(){
    $.tableNavigation({disabled:true});
  })
  .blur(function(){
    $.tableNavigation({disabled:false});
  });

This assumption is based off of the following statement in the documentation:

To update the used options just call jQuery.tableNavigation again with the new options.
