' Assumes:*Obviously for this script to run effectively you MUST open up a NEW browser window in IE using JScript. Please note that for this script to run effectively it is recommended that you open a new browser using script to disable the navigation, link bars, etc., etc. Also, the cool thing about this code is that the JavaScript disables itself once the cursor is in a text are box, or input box - VERY COOL! PLEASE NOTE, THIS CODE WAS ONLY TESTED IN IE 5.0+. If you feel you can add to this code to make it better, be my guest. Send me the updated code and I will paste it right here.

This rocks! It works perfectly from the word go. No hassles! Your small script is nice and clean as well. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Thanks, A good piece of code but...it doesn't work to lock the alt-left and alt-right keys (same behavior as back and next buttons).Is there a way to lock the alt key with javascript ? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Very nice, but you forgot an event:
F11: in IE, this is 'to fullscreen mode', which will give you a toolbar, address bar, and links bar.
I suspect you need something like || (event.keyCode == 122) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Add event.keyCode == 117 this also .It will disable F6 ,otherwise F5 won't work, After pressing F6 , F5 refreshes the page. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Man this Rock! I have been Looking all over the place for a good disable rick click without a Msgbox pop for a Instant Messanger system I am designing You saved me!!!!!!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

email me at keith@trifi.com if you want it, basically you just need to replace event with a var reading for netscape example: function nocontextmenu(evt) { var evNorE=(evt)?evt:event;

//This is my modified version //including alt-left alt-right arrows //My changes on onKeyDown function:
function onKeyDown() {
if (((event.keyCode == 8) && (event.srcElement.type != "text" && event.srcElement.type != "textarea" && event.srcElement.type != "password")) || ((event.ctrlKey) && ((event.keyCode == 78) || (event.keyCode == 82))) || //Added: keyCodes for left and right //arrows ((event.altKey) && ((event.keyCode == 37) || (event.keyCode == 39))) ||
} //For some reason, i can't make it work //without the alert. //This is a small and obvious change //Hope to be useful to somebody. //Greetings from Colombia (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Using IE 6 If you try a right click first then hit the backspace key afterwards the backspace is not disabled. You do need to try the right click first even though it is disabled. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
3/13/2005 8:06:56 PM:
Further to my above note it only happens on pages with no text, textarea or password fields. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
