Description

We use jwerty for handling enter key in textboxes. Works great in all browsers except for IE 8. When using jwerty to handle enter key in IE8 texbox, the default behavior is not prevented and causes an undesired form post to happen.

This is correctable in v.3 via the following jwerty.js code:

is: function (jwertyCode, event, i /? 0/) { jwertyCode = new JwertyCode(jwertyCode); // Default i to 0 i = i || 0; // We are only interesting in i of jwertyCode; jwertyCode = jwertyCode[i]; // jQuery stores the real event in originalEvent, which we use // because it does annoything stuff to metaKey event = event.originalEvent || event;

        //!!!!!!!!!Modification for IE 8 support!!!!!!!!!  Thanks be to ninja master Teddy for finding this!!!
        event.metaKey = event.metaKey || false;
