Question

I have a requirement to disable the escape key when the dialog is open.currently when i click the escape button the dialog closes and the transaction is submitting.I tried the following code snippet but its not working chrome. ``` dojo.connect(dialog, "onKeyPress", function(e){ var key = e.keyCode || e.charCode; var k = dojo.keys; if (key == k.ESCAPE) { event.preventDefault(); d.stopEvent(event); } }); ``` Could you please help on this..i have searched a lot and havent found a suitable solution for my problem. Thanks inadvance..

Accepted Answer

Dojo uses the `_onKey` event for accessibility. You can override it by using:

```
dialog._onKey = function() { }
```

I wrote an example JSFiddle, hitting the Escape key should not work anymore.
