Disabling Tab Button Mozilla

[Stefano]

Hi NG,

i want to disable tab button and i think that solution is method
preventDefault() but i can't disabled this button.

temp.addEventListener('keydown',press_key,true);
........
function pressKey(event)
{
.......
if (condition)
event.preventDefault();
}

I have tried with event.returnValue=false but it's not work

Can you help me?

Thanks

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Sorry, I cannot help you with that, but I am wondering why you want to
disable such a incredable usefull thing as tabs?

I am writting wysawyg editor and in some situations i want
that tab button is disabled, i wan't that if user pushes a tab button
nothing happens.

Why would you want that? If you have done a WYSIWIG editor, what you
care about is what is in the browser window - not how many windows
they have open or what they are doing with them. The tabs do't matter
to you.
