jquery select dropdown ignores keydown event when it's opened?

Question

I\'m trying to prevent backspace button to go one page back in every browser. For now I\'m using this code:

$(document).on(\"keydown\", function (e) {
    if         


        

Answer 1

Just add the select tag to your selector:

$(document).on("keydown", function (e) {
    if (e.which === 8 && !$(e.target).is("input, textarea, select")) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});
