I have a peice of code that I am using to stop the enter key (return) from submitting a form. I wanted to make a modification to this code so that users were not allowed to paste elements into a form. Because its a time entry form I am using on keydown ect to auto calculate totals and cnrl-v stops my function from being fired.
The Nav branch of the code works great in FF but I cant get it working in ie 7. Since I cant revert to ie 6 to see if its specific to 7 Im not sure if the handler is not firing because of the new version or my logic is just wrong for ie.
I know people will still be able to go edit>paste but because of the nature of the form I think it will not be an issue as it will certainly be quicker to enter 8 numbers than do edit>paste 8 times
function kH(e) { //function is not called in IE when a control - v combination is used
var nav = window.Event ? true : false;
var pK = document.all? window.event.keyCode:e.which;
if(nav){
if(e.ctrlKey == true){
return false;
}
if(e.target.type != 'textarea'){
return pK != 13;
}
}else{
alert('win');
alert(event.ctrlKey + 'hello');
if(event.ctrlKey == true){
return false;
}
if(event.srcElement.type!='textarea'){
return pK != 13;
}
}
}
document.onkeypress = kH;
if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
