disable spacebar pagedown in IE ?

[eben12]

Hi guys!

I'm currently building web application that make use of the spacebar and I need to disable the automatic pagedown that is taking place when pressing the spacebar. In Firefox, I use the following javascript on pageload

window.onkeydown=function(e){ 
    if(e.keyCode==32){ 
           return false; 
     } 
};

Obviously, it doesn't work in IE....anybody with a solution?

Thanks!
Ben.

hi ...

IE uses a global event object and has no stopPropagation ... so the following might help :)

[CODE=javascript]
window.onkeydow n = function(e) {
var evt = typeof window.event != 'undefined' ? window.event : e;

if (evt.keyCode == 32) {
if (evt.stopPropag ation) {
evt.stopPropaga tion();
} else {
evt.cancleBubbl e = true;
evt.returnValue = false;
}
}
}
[/CODE]
kind regards
