    Suppressing the tab key

    Can I use JavaScript in some way to entirely suppress and control the
    tab key, so that I perform all functions that tab performs? I can
    detect the tab key, but can't seem to eliminate it.

      <body onkeydown="if(e vent.keyCode==9 )alert('Tab');r eturn false;">
      <input>
      <input>

      The "return false" will keep the tab in the first textbox.

      Tested IE6 only !!

          If you want to actually insert tabs into a textarea where the cursor
          is (and not necessarily at the end), look at textranges.
