F1 key help

[Pos yo, quién si no!]

Hi,

I need to use the F1 key, launching a custom
function, but I need to remove the browser
help screen (I.E. and Firefox)

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Enzo

Re: F1 key help

You cannot override system functions. But you can use F-keys left free
for your needs. Subset of such for both IE & FF is:

F2, F8, F9, F10, F12

So you could do rather elegantly: "press F1 for system help", "press F2
for my help"

IE has
document.onhelp = function () {
// do your stuff here
};

Hell Vk,

I use e.stopPropagati on(); e.preventDefaul t();
inside a function called from an input text and
works fine from Firefox, but only when I'm editing
this input.

thanks,

IE only.

goto to this page and find out yourself, you can use the script. but
first click on the body and then press F1 key.

any way on my Mac F1 does anything
- IE5.2
- FF 10.04

and does no more why url above

Why to do not use some alt+key ? or ctrl+key ?

Nonsense. There's no standard to the effect that every browser on every
OS must hook up the F1 key to launch "system help", nor to leave F2 free
for websites to mess with.

Moreover, no standard even stipulates that every piece of equipment
capable of displaying web pages must _have_ F1 and F2 keys.
