Overall Rating: 4.1 | lcgray on Oct 4, 2004 at 2:01:31 PM | No Rating | | Does anyone know how to set the event.keyCode to the Shift-Tap? the event.shiftKey is read-only | | gman on Oct 11, 2003 at 7:05:33 AM | Rating: 3 | Yes, but how would this be done for a text box (not a textArea) within a Form.
(i.e.
<FORM .....
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="oemtag" SIZE="40">
.....
</FORM> | | DieterStruik on Sep 13, 2002 at 12:03:37 AM | Rating: 4 | It's a very nice tip. However I managed to fully disable the tab and replace it's function.
See my article.
