If you want to disable that behavior (I had to because pressing escape
in a thickbox screen triggered the hide on reset...):
if ($.browser.msie) {
$(document).keydown(function() {
window.stopEsc = true;
}).keyup(function() {
window.stopEsc = false;
});
}
and then:
$('form').reset(function() {
if (window.stopEsc) return false; // in IE the escape key triggers
the reset action of a form, don't wan't that here
}
Fortunately the reset event is fired between keydown and keyup, tested
in IE 6/7...
