RE: Customer Service -- Online -- WEB400

You're right, Anton, it's onkeydown.  Sorry about that.  Now, keeping the
browser from doing it's own thing is one of the hard parts, and it's
different on different browsers.  For IE, I set the key code in the event to
zero and return false from the event handler.  Netscape is different on just
about every release, and I still don't have a standard approach for it.
