disabling keys with FormAPI/Javscript

Johnny

We've had a common complaint that users have accidently sometimes found themselves outside a text field, hit backspace and hence invoked a browser back.

Browsing functions like backspace, F5 can be pitfalls in a browser interface like forms publisher.

We tried to introduce some javascript that would catch these events (IE only).

They work fine on a test html page, but once i try to put it into a DCT they dont seem to work.

Now I know javascript is supposed to be used only in context of FormAPI, but this would be a real big plus in terms of usability.

I've posted a test html page and a test DCT, the javascript code is the same but only works in the html page.

It does try to hook into document.onkeydown, maybe an IWOVer can give some feedback on the inner workings of the DCT screen.
