Forums » Help » bloody browsers and the backspace key

EDIT
That was me. Never mind.


<calm>
Binding input to ig.KEY.BACKSPACE seems ineffective, courtesy of my browser--Chrome in my case--, which somehow captures the event and sends me back in history, exiting my Impact app in the process.

Any solution for this much appreciated.

Should be able to use this and just apply it to the canvas element.

Thanks Joncom, but no need. ig.input actually stops event propagation.

I thought I had stumbled on a bug, later realizing bug was mine. :\

I added this to the keydown function in input.js, not sure if it's the best way but it works:

if (event.keyCode == 8) {
event.preventDefault();
}
