The attached file contains a script for trapping and
discarding IE shortcut keys.

My problem is that none of the ALT-Key combinations nor
any of the Function Key activations are being discarded.  
Apparently, IE acts on them before the onkeydown event
fires on the document.

Question:  Is there a way to trap these keys and discard
them before IE acts?  Am I doing something wrong
(attaching to wrong event, etc.)?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Robert Ordyniec

if(browser.IE) {
  eFrameWin.event.cancelBubble = true;
  eFrameWin.event.returnValue = false;
else {
  event.preventDefault();
  event.stopPropagation();

First, I appreciate your response to my question.  Please read on....

You may not have noticed this in the script I supplied, but at the end
of the function I submitted for evaluation were two lines of code that
should be evaluated if any of the preconditions were true.  They are:

                e.returnValue = false;
                e.cancelBubble = true;

e = IE Event Object

The event object is passed to the function when the onkeydown event
fires on the document.
