How to stop keypress event in keydown.
I have a keydown handler in that I need to stop keypress event.
Actually I have a form and textbox in it.
When user press enter key, keydown is triggering the event and having the handler.
Form submit will triggered be in keypress, so I need to stop the keypress event in my keydown handler.

Alternatively, you could attach another event handler to the input field, and in this handler stop the propagation of the event: jQuery('#input-field-id'). bind('keypress', function(e) { e. stopPropagation(); });
querySelector(". element"). removeEventListener("keydown"); });
The keydown event is fired when a key is pressed. Unlike the keypress event, the keydown event is fired for all keys, regardless of whether they produce a character value. The keydown and keyup events provide a code indicating which key is pressed, while keypress indicates which character was entered.
function onKeyDown(event) { event.preventDefault(); } http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-Event-preventDefault
or
function onsubmit(event) { return false; } return false to stop events propagation
