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...

[jQuery] IE and the escape key triggering a hide action
I just came across something in IE, that I hadn't noticed so far: It seems that the escape key triggers some action by default: Say you have a link which on click opens a form via slide down. If you then press the escape key, the form slides up again... Is it just me or did someone else notice that as well? Just wondering if it's Plazes specific due to my style of coding. For example have a look at the http://plazes.com homepage (sorry, this is no advertise): There's a login link in the upper right corner, that triggers a login form to be revealed. If the form is visible in IE press escape and you will see, that it gets hidden again... I really don't know what's happening? -- Klaus ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
