Question

I’m trying to simulate some software in a browser window for training purposes. When the user presses f3 I need it to go back to the prior page instead of opening the search dialogue in IE7. I’ve tried the following code but I receive:

An error has occuredError: 78 Permission Denied

Any ideas?

$('#command').keydown(function(e) {     
    if(e.which === 114) {
        e = 0;
        history.go(-1);
    }
});

Answer 1

Move the redirect to the keyup handler and simply return false; from the keydown handler. Returning false from the keydown event will cause the built in handler to not fire, then the keyup event will redirect.

$('#command').keydown(function(e) {  
    if(e.which === 114) {
         return false;   
    }
});

$('#command').keyup(function(e) {  
    if(e.which === 114) {
         history.go(-1); 
    }
});
