Cancel the keydown in an HTML page ?

Question

Hey,

How can I cancel the keydown of a button on the keyboard in an HTML page.

Thanks

Answer 1

Handle the onkeydown event and return false;

Answer 2

Try this

<input type="button" onkeydown="return false;" />

Answer 3

It's somewhat more complicated than described so far, see Quirksmode.org:

You cannot prevent the default onkeydown in Opera.

In Opera, use onkeypress instead.
