Answer 1

use

• .preventDefault()
• .stopPropagation()

within a keydown or keypress or keyup event handler. You can check the keyCode or even better the value of which from the event object there and execute both functions from above.

Alternativly, you can just return false; which actually will trigger the same functions for you.

Example:

$('input:text').bind('keypress', function(event){
   if(event.which === 32)
      return(false);
});
