Question

I’m not exactly sure how to phrase this, so I couldn’t search it. Basically, I have a keydown() bind on $(document). I’d like to show() another div, and have all keydown events be rerouted to this div and prevented from firing off in the document handler. Is this even possible, or would I have to put all my main keybindings on another div and work from there?

Answer 1

e.stopPropagation, or
e.preventDefault (depending on the situation)
Where e is the event.

Ex:

function onKeyDown(e) {
   doStuff();
   e.preventDefault();
}
