How can I prevent IE from refreshing when Ctrl-R is handled in the page by script? This also goes for things like opening the browser history, etc. The solution does not need to work in Non-IE browsers, but it must work in both IE 6 and IE 7.
Is this even possible?
I dont't think thats possible and I guess it shouldn't be too.
I looks like I must rethink...
Using this library (download link) I could achieve what you want.
Sample code. But the library is able to do much more.
<html>
<head>
<title>asd</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="shortcut.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
shortcut.add("Ctrl+R",function() {
alert("Don't reload");
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Try this:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function preventStuff () {
var e = window.event;
if(e.ctrlKey) {
switch(e.keyCode) {
case 82 :
document.body.innerHTML += "<p>Window refresh prevented.</p>";
e.returnValue = false;
break;
case 72 :
document.body.innerHTML += "<p>Browser history prevented.</p>";
e.returnValue = false;
break;
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onkeydown="preventStuff()">
</body>
</html>
"82" is the keyCode for "R", "72" is the keyCode for "H". Add a similar switch case for every key you want to capture.
Tested on IE6 and IE7.
