block backspace on pda for mam

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a problem with the backspace key on the pda. When I am using the backspace on the pda, the application is losing its context and I get a lot of data rubish on the device. Is it possible to block the backspace so that the browser does not perform a "back"?

I am using Windows Mobile 2005.

Thanks,

Kai

Hi Kai,

haven't really tried this out, but MSFT documentation says that it supports the window.onUnload event:

But I do not know if you can do s.th. like this on the PDA as well:

Could be worth a try.

Kai,

What AKU Patch of Windows Mobile 5 are you in? We had similar problems on WM5.0 with 1.0 AKU. However we curently dont see the same problems in WM5.0 with AKU 3.0 and above.

Hope upgrading to the latest version of the OS helps at your end.

Thanks

Hello Kai,

I guess you can block the backspace using a javascript on the page body for keypress event.
