Question

I was trying to implement the CTRL+S feature for a browser based application. I made a search and came across two scripts in the following to questions

Best cross-browser method to capture CTRL+S with JQuery?
Ctrl+S preventDefault in Chrome

However, when I tried to implement it, it worked but, I still get the default browser save dialog box/window.

My Code:For shortcut.js:

 shortcut.add("Ctrl+S",function() {
     alert("Hi there!");
 },
 {
     'type':'keydown',
     'propagate':false,
     'target':document
});

jQuery hotkeys.js:

$(document).bind('keydown', 'ctrl+s', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    alert('Ctrl+S');
    return false;
});

I believe e.preventDefault(); should do the trick, but for some reason it doesn’t work. Where am I going wrong.Sorry if it is simple, still learning jJvascript.

This is to just add a different implementation to the question used by me.
Adapted from a SO answer.Also,works for MAC

 document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
      if (e.keyCode == 83 && (navigator.platform.match("Mac") ? e.metaKey : e.ctrlKey))      {
        e.preventDefault();
        //your implementation or function calls
      }
    }, false);
