      I would say no not with javascript. what do you mean disable? you can put your whole parent page in a span or div and hide the innerhtml?

          Code an event listener that will handle some action like ignoring events generated by the parent window. See Quiksmode's Advanced Event Registration topic here: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_advanced.html.

                  Welcome to TSDN!

                  You may want to use onfocus instead of onclick.

                          You can, but you could have focus without clicking and use the keys to navigate.
