Answer 1

You can accomplish this by handling the window’s onkeypress event to check whether the CTRL key and S are depressed, and if so, canceling the event from by calling preventDefault() on the event object:

window.onkeypress = function(event) {
    if (event.charCode === 115 && event.ctrlKey) {
        event.preventDefault();
        // your code here....
        alert("'Save As' dialog suppressed!");
    }
};

Note that the keypress event may behave differently in different browsers. This did work in FireFox, however.
