Question

I have a javascript window.open popup, and I want to prevent popup from getting close by itself when the user presses the ESC key. I can’t figure out how to hook the keydown event (and on what object?) so that I can catch the ESC key.

Please help me out!.

Answer 1

var myWindow = window.open();

myWindow.onkeydown = function(e){
    if(e.keyCode === 27){
        e.preventDefault();
    }
};
