<Backspace> Key Issue.
I created a full asp web application. I have most of the bugs worked out of it. However, when I turned it over to the end-users for testing they found a wierd situation, as end-users will, that I hadn't come across.
When a users is filling in a form and they land on a dropdown box, if the user hits the <Backspace> key it takes them back one page.
Since this is my first asp project and Im not that experiainced with web applications, I wasn't sure if this was really an issue. Since this doesn't happen when the user lands on any other control, text, check box, option button etc... Code:

anyone ever noticed that if you're in a select box on a form and you push the backspace key, it takes you back a page in your history?
It even did it on this posting page, when I clicked in the font drop down.Any idea how to prevent this?

I had posted a question asking if there was a way to disable the backspace key on a web form. Because I had users complaining that when they hit the backspace key on a drop down or option, or check box it took them to the previous page.
I found a javascript that altered the ASCII value of the backspace key that eliminated the issue.
However it worked too good. What I would really like is for the backspace to be disabled on the drop down, option, and check box controls and re enabled on text controls. One funny thing I noticed is that the backspace does continue to work on single line text boxes but not multiline. Code:
