javascript backspace by default problem…Going back a page.

The issue I am having is when you type a list of phone numbers into the list and then when you click one to edit it, if you backspace to delete the number, it will mess the entire list up by going back one page….i am fully aware that this is because the default back page is backspace and thats why its doing that but I really want it to not backpage when I use backspace to delete a number from the list…..

So what I am saying basically is how can I disable backspace to back page……

Here is a fiddle:

to block backspace you can use this:

document.onkeydown = function(evt) {
    evt = evt || window.event;
    var keyCode = evt.keyCode;
    if (keyCode == 8) { // backspace
        return false;
    }
};
