I am trying to capture the keypress event and then depending on the key I want to cancel the event. However, despite calling both event.preventDefault() and event.stopPropagation() the keypress is not cancelled when occuring inside a textarea or an input type="text" element. As I in the example try to cancel the return key I also included a link and a button in the test case and there the cancellation of the return key works as the button/link can't be activated by focussing on them and pressing return. So we are faced with keypress event targetted at textarea elements and text input elements not being cancellable. NN4 has no problems to capture the keypress and cancel it in the textarea/text input. And with IE6's event bubbling system it is also possible to cancel the key when intended.
