Beau,

Your suggestion produced the following results.

- Firefox and IE 6.0 - all key presses seem to be DISabled
-Opera 9.2 - all key presses seem to be ENabled

So you seem to have discovered the secret for handling two of my three
browsers. But how do I disable the tab key in Opera 9.2?

This is interesting because my boss who is also our system architect
suggested to use Mochikit because a major design point is that you
don't really have to struggle very much with differences among the
many available browsers. But I can see that although this is a goal in
Mochikit, I can also see that it must be a constant uphill battle to
achieve this.
