I have a keydown handler in that I need to stop keypress event.

Answer 1

I was able to get the event.preventDefault(); to work in Safari and Firefox, but not IE7 or IE8.

If you only want to disable the enter key, make sure that you're also checking for the key value (13 for Enter) and only setting event.preventDefault() for that key.

Anyone able to come up with an answer for IE7/8 or Opera?
