I´m trying this on Opera 10 and doesn´t work:

$('input').keydown(function(){ return false; });

This works fine in other browsers.

Can anybody tell me something about this??

Thanks!

    See the key events compatibility table. Opera does not cancel a keypress when keydown preventsDefault. Use the keypress event instead to cancel keyboard input.

    (Although, this is rarely a good idea. Intercepting keypresses does not stop a field being changed by other means than keys, for example drag and drop. Set the readonly or disabled properties true to properly stop the value being changed.)
