Hi there,
IMHO, Javascript operates on the client side and only on the objects contained in the DOM. The ADDRESS bar is not part of the DOM object model. It is part of the browser object model and as such will not be affected by javascript key events. I suppose you could write some sort of add-in to control the address bar text. Seems kind of intrusive though. Who'd want that?

Hi. Sorry, I don't have any answers to your questions at the moment. I was wondering if I could get your solution to disabling the CTRL+S Save the current page ( S = 83) option, plus any of the others you've figured out? I know, you're gettin' nothin' out of this. :o)

Thanks.

Welcome to Bytes!

To disable key strokes, return false when detecting them on the key events, e.g. onkeypress/down.
