Internet Explorer turn off F1 = Help

EddieJ300 · Jan 24, 2006

We access a web site that we need to hit F1 to submit. Really it is F13 (shift F1). When we hit shift F1 or F13 the submit for the web site does happen but the Internet Explorer Help opens. The user then needs to close that dialog box before they can continue with their work.

The following will stop Shift + F1 from bringing up the help in IE, but will allow regular F1 to act as normal:

Code:

<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
		onhelp = function(evt) {
			var eventData = evt ? evt : event;
			if (eventData.shiftKey) return(false);
		}
	//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	Some content here...
</body>
</html>

If you need to discuss this code further, you should really take it to the JavaScript forum (forum216)

Hope this helps,
Dan
