Suppressing the tab key

P

Paul Thompson

Can I use JavaScript in some way to entirely suppress and control the
tab key, so that I perform all functions that tab performs? I can
detect the tab key, but can't seem to eliminate it.

Click to expand...

<body onkeydown="if(event.keyCode==9)alert('Tab');return false;">
<input>
<input>

The "return false" will keep the tab in the first textbox.

Tested IE6 only !!

If you want to actually insert tabs into a textarea where the cursor
is (and not necessarily at the end), look at textranges.
